Description

The gate pier at the entrance to Link House Farm dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It is made of cut sandstone and features a square rusticated design with a plinth, an attached jamb, and a steep pyramidal cap topped with a finial. The east pier of the gateway was removed some years ago to Wallington Hall.
