Full Description

Grade I listed gateway and piers, dating from the mid 17th century and altered in the 19th century. It is probably by John Wedd. It has a semi-circular headed central arch with impost blocks and a rusticated raised keystone, which is flanked by rusticated Tuscan pillars supporting a plain entablature with a broken segmental pediment with ball finial at centre. The base of the frieze over the arch returns as bifurcated ribbons to either side of the keystone. To either side are engaged square gate piers with rusticated panels, side scrolls and ball finials. A short length of 19th century railing links the similar outer piers. For the full description of this listed building please refer to the National Heritage List for England. {1}
