Screen, Gate, Gate Piers and Walls at Scraptoft Hall

This is an early 18th century screen, gate, gate piers, and walls at Scraptoft Hall. The screen and walls are located on the west side of the hall, with the walls extending eastwards to form a forecourt.

The screen is made of wrought iron, with red brick piers featuring stone dressings, and red brick walls. The wrought iron screen is highly decorative, centred around a raised gate featuring scrolls and foliage, supported by six ramped verticals that rise to the top rail. The overthrow includes curlicues, waterleaf and Tudor rose motifs, with small baluster finials, although the central finial is now missing. A green man is present in the centre of the cornice, although its authenticity is uncertain. The gate itself has an arched top with a circular feature bearing a Tudor rose, a scrolled lockrail, and a lower dograil. This is flanked by a fixed section with scrolled and curlicue detailing, and further sections embellished with waterleaves and surmounted by baluster finials.

Railings flanking the gates sit within a low brick wall with stone capping. These railings feature a dograil, arrowhead finials, and three decorative panels with elaborate top sections, all displaying curlicue, waterleaf, and scrolled details. Sections on the north side have been replaced, including many of the verticals, whilst the south side has lost some details, including arrowheads and one top section. The square brick piers on either side have stone caps; only the north pier retains its stone urn. Service gates extending from the north pier were removed around 2015, although a northernmost brick pier, matching the others, survives.

Red brick walls with segmental brick coping extend eastward for approximately 40 metres, forming the forecourt. On the south side, the east pier of an intermediate gate survives, along with the elaborate 18th century wrought iron flanking supports attached to both piers. The rebuilt eastern sections of the north and south walls, and the rebuilt intermediate gate piers, are excluded from this listing.
