Gate Piers To Baysgarth And Garden Wall And Attached Lodges To North Of The House

The gate piers to Baysgarth, along with the garden wall and attached lodges to the north of the house, date from the 18th century and are designed in a style characteristic of that period. The gate piers are made of block rusticated red brick, featuring stone capping and a plinth. Each pier is topped with finials depicting a lion and a unicorn, and there are smaller flanking piers with basket finials. The garden wall is stone-coped, and there are two small lodge houses from the 19th century. These lodges are almost square in shape and have hipped roofs covered with Welsh slate. The upper storey of each lodge has a segmental-headed hatch doorway, while one lodge has a ground floor with a double carriage archway supported by a flat wood lintel. Between the lodges, there is a section of wall with a segmental entry that includes gates. The gate piers, garden wall, lodges, and former stables to Baysgarth form a group with No 2 Caistor Road, which is of local interest.
