Description
The gate piers and front garden walls to Calveley Hall date from the late 17th century and were built for Lady Calveley. The walls are made of orange brick in an English garden wall bond, featuring rounded stone coping on three sides of a rectangular front garden. In the middle of the east wall, there are a pair of gate piers constructed from buff sandstone in ashlar. The piers have a Greek cross shape with some rustication and a projecting moulded capstone, which supports a stepped cap adorned with large ball finials on restored stands. The gates are currently missing.
