Description
The gates and attached walls to Kings Newton Hall date from the 17th century and mid-18th century, with 19th-century repairs. They are constructed from ashlar and rubble stone and feature iron gates. At the front of the hall, there are a pair of tall panelled mid-18th century gate piers, which have moulded cornices and ball finials. Between these piers is an 18th-century iron gate, adorned with strapwork panels on either side and a simple overthrow above. The gate itself is plain, with an arrow-headed dograil at the base.
On the outer side of the piers, there are ramped ashlar walls topped with double chamfered ashlar copings. To the west, there is a long stretch of 500 metres of 17th-century rubble wall, which also features double chamfered coping stones and a chamfered plinth that runs along the road. At the western end of this wall, there are a couple of openings, where the plinth disappears and the copings change to rubble.
