Description
SE 82 SW TWIN RIVERS MAIN STREET (south side) Whitgift 1/42 Forecourt piers to Whitgift Hall 14.2.67 (formerly listed under Whitgift Parish)
GV II
Pair of forecourt piers. Early C18 style. Red brick with scored joints, limestone ashlar dressings and finials. Square-section piers flanking north forecourt to Whitgift Hall, approximately 25 metres apart. Both have moulded plinth, corniced band, moulded cornice and flat cap with square pedestal. West pier carries tall fluted urn with boldly gadrooned base and cap; urn to the east pier broken off at time of resurvey (April 1987) and lying nearby. Both piers have single ornate carved scrolled limestone brackets on to later adjoining walls. Similarities in materials suggests the piers may be contemporary with the wing walls added to Whitgift Hall (qv) as part of later C18 - early C19 remodelling for the Stovin and Coulman families. See Item 1/38 for additional historical details.
