Description

The gate piers and gates at the center of the east wall of the garden at Alderley Park were built in the early to mid-19th century for Sir J T Stanley. They are made of buff sandstone ashlar. The brick garden wall ends with chamfered rusticated stone piers that have projecting capstones. Between these are two similar free-standing piers topped with spread eagles on the capstones. The two side gates and the central gate are alike, featuring a delicate interlacing design with quatrefoils at the junctions. The lock rail and top rail display a lozenge-shaped pattern, and there is scrollwork along the top.
