Description
The gate piers and wall at Manor House date from the 18th century, with a small section rebuilt in the 20th century. They are constructed from ashlar, coursed rubble stone, and red brick, featuring stone coping. Starting from the right corner of the Manor House's gable, there is a short section of rubble stone wall, followed by a pair of rusticated stone gate piers. These piers include cornices, blocking courses, and small curved pedestals that support stone balls. Continuing further along Main Street, there is another short section of stone wall, followed by a long section of brick wall with a rubble stone plinth, approximately 4 meters high.
