Description

The gate piers, wing walls, and gates at Adlington Hall, located on the east approach, consist of end piers dating from the 17th century, while the remainder was constructed in the mid-19th century. They are made of buff and pink sandstone ashlar, with iron gates and railings. The end piers are set on low moulded plinths and feature a narrow bead mould on the corners. There is a raised moulded band below a projecting capstone, which is topped with an urn decorated with acanthus and a stone flame. The low wing walls support spear railings and connect the end piers to four simple gate piers. There is a pair of central carriage gates flanked by smaller gates, all featuring spear designs with speared dogbars and some curved bracing. The Legh arms are displayed on the central piers.
