Description

This pair of folding gates, dating from around 1896, is attributed to the architect Edwin Lutyens and was created for the 1st Duke of Westminster. The gates are made of black wrought iron and are accompanied by screens and stone piers, which were added later. The gates feature vertical rails and scrollwork that resemble stylized trees, while the narrower, taller side screens also display scrollwork. The square stone piers are rusticated and have decorative heads of putti on their inner faces. Historical records indicate that there were trimmed yew hedges on either side of the gate screens in 1901, although no piers were present at that time.
