History

Exterior

Gates, gatepiers and entrance screen. The walls and piers are of uncoursed sandstone ashlar blocks with chamfered copings. The ensemble consists of two pairs of squat octagonal piers flanking a wide central entrance and narrower outer pedestrian entrances. Screen walls adjoin to R and L and curve out in a concave arc in three sloped-up stages, before terminating in similar piers. Geometric ball finials on sloped collars. The gates are wooden with simple arcading in 2 tiers and with end finials; the pedestrian gates are fragmentary, that to the R now with only the frame surviving.
