Description

The gate piers and attached walls enclosing the orchard, located 5 metres to the northwest of the coach house at Farfield Hall, date from the early 18th century and 19th century. The walls are constructed of coursed rubble, with the inner face partially relined in brick during the early 19th century when the gate piers, made of hammer-dressed stone, were added. These structures form three sides of an apsidal square. The gate piers are square in plan and feature a cornice topped with crudely sculpted pineapple finials. The walls have flat copings that ramp over a fine original 18th-century ashlar doorway, which is adorned with a bolection-moulded eared architrave and a segmental pediment. There is a rebate for a door on the outer face, with a flight of three stone steps leading up to it. A pineapple finial is set on the wall above the doorway. Additionally, there is a plain doorway in the stone-lined west wall that leads to the farm buildings.
