Description
The entrance gatepiers and attached boundary wall to Eckington Rectory date from the late 18th century. The gatepiers are made of ashlar coal measures sandstone and rise from a chamfered plinth base, square in plan. They feature a boldly projecting cornice that supports the fluted pedestal of a substantial ball finial. On either side of the entrance, there are substantial coursed masonry boundary walls with half-round copings that define the curved boundary along Church Street. To the south, the walls extend 45 metres and end at a small gateway with plain low gatepiers. To the east, the walls extend 15 metres at the height of the gatepier cornice, with a blocked quoined doorway located next to the pier. The wall then steps outwards and continues until it reaches Rectory Cottage, where it has a quoined door opening into the building.
