OLD GROOMBRIDGE
16/519 Gates, gate piers and flanking
walls to The Cottage
GV II
Gate piers, gates and boundary walls. Circa 1835. Boundary walls are also
revetting the terraced garden of The Cottage (q.v.). They are battered and
built of rock-faced coursed sandstone. Each side of the recessed entrance to
The Cottage there are square section piers of sandstone ashlar with bands
around the top. From these taller walls of coursed sandstone are canted
inwards to gate piers (taller verisons of the other piers). These contain
probably original wrought iron double gates which include friezes of anthemion
ornament.
These walls and gates form part of a good group of listed buildings on
Groombridge Hill, all close to Groombridge Place (q.v.) and Old Groombridge
village.
