Description
Two pairs of gate piers and attached boundary walls date from the 17th century and are located to the south, south-east, and south-west of Fanshawe Gate Hall. The gate piers are made of ashlar gritstone, while the garden walls are constructed from coursed rubble-sandstone, linking the gate piers and enclosing the drive and gardens of Fanshawe Gate Hall.
The northern gate piers are rusticated ashlar with a boldly projecting cornice that supports acorn finials on curved pyramidal stems. Scroll brackets connect the flanking walls to the piers. The southern gate piers are simpler, made of plain ashlar, each featuring a moulded cornice that supports clusters of four balls, which in turn support a second cornice. Above this upper cornice is the stem for a ball finial.
Linking the two pairs of gate piers are stone walls that are 2 metres high and 20 metres long. Additionally, there are stone boundary walls extending 15 metres to the east and 10 metres to the west of the northern gate piers, standing at heights of 1.5 and 2 metres, which enclose the gardens on either side. The eastern wall includes a quoined door surround with a plain stone lintel.
