Description
The garden walls and gate piers located to the south and west of the Manor House were designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and built between 1908 and 1909. They are constructed from squared stone, snecked stone, and coursed rubble, featuring cut dressings and ashlar gate piers. The tall gate piers flanking the entrance to the Manor House have a plinth, moulded capitals, and decorated urn finials. Attached to these are wrought-iron box-section jambs, which are remnants of ornate gates that were removed around 1940.
The approach walls connect the piers to the house; the wall on the left is made of snecked stone, while the one on the right is constructed from coursed rubble. Both walls have heavy flat coping and include a vertical-panelled door in a four-centred frame under a stepped keyed lintel. To the left of the entrance, there is a squared stone wall with pilasters and slightly-raised coping, and the left return features a gate with pyramid-capped piers that connects to the south-west corner of the West Manor House. To the right of the entrance, the coursed rubble wall has flat coping, interrupted by a section with railings, which at the time of the survey was obscured by a holly hedge, situated between two pyramid-capped piers.
