Description

The garden terrace, railings, and two gateways located south of the Gatehouse date from around 1840 and are made of ashlar and cast iron. The terrace is a single tall structure accessed by a flight of steps with plain sides. Its wall features shallow projecting buttresses and a moulded top. To the right, there is a gateway with squared piers that have panelled and jewelled sides supported on scrolls, topped with broken segmental pediments. The central gateway is accessed by five steps and is flanked by square piers with corniced, orbed tops. The gates are ramped towards the center and feature a crested overthrow adorned with shells and the Cholmeley cypher. The flanking walls include cast iron lattice screens with roundels at the top rail and decorative side panels, connected by square piers with cornice tops. This structure was built as part of the formal gardens for Easton Hall, the former residence of the Cholmeley family, which was demolished in 1951 and stood to the west of the terrace.
