Featherstone Moor from Pontefract. 1776, by Robert Adam. Sandstone ashlar.
A prominent and distinctive structure in the form of a narrow pyramid pierced
by a round-headed archway, which is framed by a massive Tuscan doorcase with
pedimented entablature; a fluted frieze and moulded cornice is carried round
from the pediment, and there is a blind oeil-de-boeuf above it; and a moulded
impost band carried through the archway. Accommodation is provided in each
side of the lower part of the pyramid, lit by narrow single light windows at
ground floor of the front and 1st floor of the sides, and the chimney flues
incorporated in the pyramid. (Apex of pyramid missing at time of survey,
1986). A short screen wall attached at each side terminates in a wide
square pier. Wrought-iron double gates to the outer (northern) entrance, of
straight-railing design but with lower panels of intersecting segments, small
finials and pendants between the railings, and small decorative cresting.
