Description
The railings and gates attached to the north-east corner of York Minster date from around 1860. They extend approximately 50 meters north-west from the corner and include gate piers, carriage gates, and foot gates. The railings and gates are made of cast iron and are set on a low chamfered stone wall. The railings are diagonally set with square sections, pointed tips, and turned standards topped with urn finials. The gate bars are similar in design and are reinforced with curving braces. The wall pier is square in shape with trefoil-headed sunk panel sides and a flat cap. The carriage gate posts are octagonal with trefoil-headed sunk panelled sides, moulded caps, and pomegranate finials. The pedestrian gate features a delicate ogee arched overthrow decorated with scrolls, topped by a tapered square lantern supported on scrolled brackets.
