A ha-ha was a ditch (in this case with a smart stone wall) to stop animals wandering onto the sacred lawn of the upper crust. Peasants had to put up with the animals and what they left behind!

The key thing being that it was a ditch so that a common or garden wall doesn't spoil the vista. Early version of an infinity pool sort of thing!

GUIDE FOR PHOTO RESTORATIONS PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR SCANNER BED IS CLEAN AND SCAN AT A RESOLUTION OF 300-600 WITH THE SCALE AT 100% MINIMUM.

If you would like a coloured version, details such as hair colour , eyes and clothing etc.  if known  would be helpful to restorers

Regards Roy
