Description
The forecourt walls and piers to the Manor House date from around 1840 and incorporate 18th-century piers. They are constructed from coursed rubble, some of which is rendered, and squared stone. The structure is divided into two sections. To the east of the porch wing, there is an entrance featuring a rusticated jamb, which is connected by a flat-coped wall to a pier with a chamfered base and a moulded cap, along with a simpler pier beyond. The jamb and the main pier are topped with ball finials, and there is a gadrooned urn on the outer pier. To the west, the wall slopes down to a gateway that has a similar main pier on the left and a simpler pier without a finial on the right. A flat-coped wall beyond connects to the single-storey part of the Manor House.
