Description
The gatepiers at the entrance to the forecourt of Kirkleatham Hall School date from around 1700. They are constructed of sandstone ashlar and feature painted stone figures. Each pier has a corniced plinth and the west face includes a round-headed niche with a giant keystone and a chamfered rusticated surround, framed in an aedicule. The tympanum, frieze, and columns exhibit vermiculate rustication, and there are broad pilaster returns. Each pier is topped with sculptured lion passant finials, with the right paw holding a mill-rind, set on a raised rope-moulded base, which is the crest of the Turner family. The east face of each pier features a blind round-headed niche with an archivolt, keystone, and moulded imposts, beneath a frosted rusticated panel, all within an Ionic aedicule that has a pulvinated frieze. The gates and overthrow were destroyed in 1954, and the former Kirkleatham Hall was demolished in 1955.
