Description
The gate piers and railings at Clutton Lodge are a notable pair of structures, with the railings dating from the early 18th century and attributed to the Davies Brothers of Croes Foel, while the gate piers were likely built around 1830. Constructed from wrought iron and artificial stone, the railings consist of three panels separated by principal rails, featuring scrolly brackets and ornate circular caps. They also include decorative dog-bars, an embellished top rail, and leafed spikes of alternating design on the common rails, all resting on moulded stone plinths.
The square gate piers have recessed corners and long panels on the front and back, with moulded bases and projecting cornices that support tapering finials, which were originally topped with balls or urns. The gates, also made by the Davies Brothers, are no longer present. These gates, screens, and lodges were located at the north entrance to Carden Hall, which was destroyed by fire in 1924.
