Gate Piers At Entrance Of Drive To Rockcliffe House

The gate piers at the entrance of the drive to Rockcliffe House were likely built around 1890. They are made of sandstone ashlar and consist of six square-section piers, each approximately 3 meters high. The four central piers frame the main and side gateways, although the gates are currently missing. These central piers are connected to the outer piers by a curved wall that once supported railings, which are also now absent. The piers feature vermiculated bands and dentilled caps with segmental-headed faces, all of which are elaborately carved and unique. The round-topped finials on top of the piers have recessed fanlight-carved faces, but the finials are missing from the innermost pair.
