Gateway And Flanking Walls To Scawby Hall

The gateway and flanking walls to Scawby Hall were built in the mid-19th century for the Nelthorpe Estate. They are constructed from red brick with sandstone ashlar dressings. The wrought-iron gate is set between square gate piers that have chamfered inner faces and ashlar caps topped with large ball finials. The flanking walls are coped with ashlar and slope down to single projecting piers, which also feature smaller ball finials. The gate itself has plain bars and dog bars with finials, a mid-panel with roundels, a single diagonal brace, and scrolls on the top rail. The coped wall extends approximately 34 meters to the north and 32 meters to the south. At the northern end, the wall ramps up to a pedestrian gateway leading to the Gate Lodge, which has a 20th-century wooden gate in a round-headed entrance with an ashlar keyed arch and raised imposts, flanked by plain coped piers. To the south, the wall connects to a later wall that has no special interest.
