Gates, railings and gatepiers at Sandy Brow

II

Gates, railings and gatepiers: small gate early C18, gatepiers late C19, small gate reset, large gates and railings added between 1905-25 for Lord Wavertree. Wrought-iron. The small gate at the centre is of plain bars flanked by panels of gilded scrollwork and supported by later scrolled brackets. The overthrow has gilded finials and scrollwork, and contains a central monogram TDM in copperplate, executed to give a symmetrical image. Attached to the rear is a bell in a framework of similar style. To either side, on a low stone-coped brick wall, are railings of plain bars divided by panels of scrollwork. To the left are a pair of gatepiers with plain brick bodies, moulded limestone capstones and ball finials. They contain a pair of gates of panels of scrollwork, a lock rail and an overthrow with scrolls and gilded leafs. It is not known from where the original gate came, but Oulton Park and Hoseley Hall, Marford are possibilities.
