Gateway And Screen Wall 1200 Metres North West Of Harlaxton Manor

The gateway and screen wall at the entrance to Harlaxton Manor were built between 1832 and 1844, likely designed by either Anthony Salvin or William Burn for Gregory Gregory. Constructed from ashlar, the gateway features a segment-arched opening with a keystone, flanked by square piers that have rusticated niches and moulded coping. Freestanding sculptures of sheaves and a bird, which are elements of the Gregory coat of arms, adorn the piers. A pair of wrought-iron gates is situated at the entrance. On each side of the gateway, there are concave screen walls with moulded coping and volutes that support the gate piers. Further beyond, there are four-bay screens with square piers and concave-topped cast-iron railings. Beyond these screens are solid walls with plain coping, with the section on the right being approximately 80 meters long and featuring a pedestrian gateway. The structure is completed with square end piers.
