Description
Entrance gates to St. Multose Church, built c.1850, comprising tooled channelled limestone piers with plinth displaying Ordnance Survey benchmark. Tooled cornice and coping over moulded string course surmounted by carved limestone urn finials. Limestone jamb to ornate double-leaf wrought-iron gates surmounted by wrought-iron arch.
Appraisal
An attractive gateway with neo-Classical influences in its design. The channelled piers display high quality craftsmanship in their design and execution whilst the wrought-iron gates and ornate arch further enhance the composition.
