(Formerly Listed as:

GV II

Revetment wall, gates, gate piers and steps to the front and
right return. 1870s. Devon rubblestone crazy-paving walls
approx one metre high and 180m long have stepped chamfered
coping. Two pairs of gate piers to the right return and far
left have chamfered plinths, cornices below stepped pyramidal
caps and cast-iron gates of geomtric design. Two pairs of
double gates and gate piers flanking the centre are similar
except that the caps are gabled to each side above the cornice
with trefoil recesses to the apexes. Cast and wrought-iron
gates (those flanking the centre are double), are trellised
with rectangles, circles and flambeau finials. A well-detailed
composition, complementing the almshouses (qv) which are
situated high above the road.
