End Piers, Wing Walls, Gate Piers And Gates To Front Of Hawthorn Hall

These end piers, wing walls, gate piers, and gates form the front entrance to Hawthorn Hall. The end piers date to the late 17th century, while the wing walls were built in the late 19th century and the gates are 20th century. The structure is built of ashlar buff sandstone and brick wing walls in blue and orange. The end piers have rusticated bodies shaped with chamfers, set upon low moulded plinths. Their projecting moulded capstones feature carved leaves on the underside and support pine cone finials with a base of acanthus. The low, curving wing walls have a shaped, bulbous stone coping. The gate piers are similar in style but lack a plinth and have heavier capstones, although their finials have been lost. Between the gate piers are a pair of 20th-century wrought iron gates with decorative dogbars.
