low ashlar wall with coping broken forward at regular intervals over wall buttresses
links the 2 sets of stables (qv) and adds to the symmetrical layout of Shipton Court
(qv). Tall ashlar gatepiers with pilasters, moulded cornice and ball finials, inner
corners chamfered. Large wrought-iron gates with good quality scroll-work and
leaves in upper parts, hinge panels enriched; flanking pedestrian gates with over-
throws in similar style.
