Description
Gateway, c.1845, comprising pair of granite ashlar squat piers with cornices having panelled stages and coping over, decorative cast-iron double gates, decorative cast-iron flanking pedestrian gates, granite ashlar outer piers having moulded capping, and sections of coursed squared granite flanking boundary walls to perimeter of site with cut-stone coping.

Appraisal
An elegant gateway incorporating fine stonework to the piers, together with early surviving decorative cast-iron gates that enhance the design quality of the composition. The gateway, together with the attendant gate lodge (22901712/WD-17-12), forms a pleasing group in the locality.
