blocks, moulded arch ring and with patera in each spandrel;

entablature with festooned and swagged frieze; earl's coronet

with S in tympanum of pediment surmounted by lion rampant with

Bracketted corniced pedestrian entrances with moulded and

acanthus detailed jambs.

Corniced blocking course to screen wall, raised and swagged

above pedestrian entrances.

GATES: Pair spearheaded cast-iron carriage gates with Greek key

pattern band and scallop decoration; matching single gates

close pedestrian entrances.

GATE LODGES: advanced single storey, 3-bay flanking gate

lodges, each with centre doorway on S side of linking screen

wall; each lodge with later rear additions and each with later dormerheads breaking wallhead. Harled, ashlar margins and

dressings. Deep corniced eaves band broken by later piended

Statement of Interest

Coronet with S (for Seafield) in both faces of tympanum

possibly made of Coade stone: pottery could be an unusual

alternative.
