An entrance doorway of red sandstone from the old house of Weens has been reset in the NW wall of the kitchen garden. It dates from the 18th century and has a moulded architrave with rusticated blocks, and a lintel displaying a heavy triple keystone. It measures 6 ft 1 in in height by 3 ft in breadth.
A sundial, presumably from the old house, stands on top of the SE wall of the kitchen garden. It is of grey freestone, cubical in shape and with a curved and moulded top from which the finial is missing. Each side bears a dial, on which the sun is represented as a human face.
