Description

The gate piers at the main entrance to Barningham Park date from the 18th century and are made of cut sandstone. They are rusticated square piers topped with moulded caps that support ball finials on swept bases. The wrought-iron gates that accompany the piers are of later origin and are not considered to be of special interest.
