Description
The Chapel South Gates are located in Cholmondeley Park and were designed in 1722 by Robert Bakewell. Originally part of the fencing for the Old Hall, they were removed and adapted for use as gates in 1829 after the Old Hall was demolished in 1801. The gates are made of wrought iron and feature stone end piers. There is one pair of high gates flanked by lower wicket gates. All gates are hung from square, open-work wrought iron piers adorned with volutes, leaves, bobbins, and sun motifs. The metal plate ogee caps have ball and leaf finials with terminal twists. The main and wicket gates share a similar design, consisting of square bars with spear and leaf cresting, and two rows of water lilies hanging as pendants below the top rails. An infilling of volutes and leaves is supported by the bottom rails. The wickets close against square stop-chamfered stone piers that have four-way weathered caps.
