G.V. II*

Gateway with flanking garden wall., gate piers and mounting block. C14 with C18 alterations and additions. Ashlar and red brick. Central gateway is ashlar faced with side walls of brick, flanked by single stepped buttresses with sloping tops. The central pointed double chamfered archway is surmounted by castellations and to either side are gargoyles, probably repositioned. The springers only of the rear brick gate arch survive. Visible in the right hand wall is a blocked C14 pointed headed doorway suggesting that although much restored the structure is basically of medieval construction. To the left of the gate arch a mounting block, up 3 steps. To either side brick walls with shaped brick copings lead to gateways having rusticated brick piers surmounted by stone balls, in one case bearing the letters 'CH' with heraldic crest.
