Description
Gate piers built in 1931 to the designs of John Hatton Markham.
MATERIALS: red brick with stone dressings.
PLAN: the gate piers flank the principal entrance to Rampton Hospital on Retford Road.
EXTERIOR: the substantial gate piers have tall square shafts, stepped in at each corner, resting on moulded stone bases. The capitals are in the form of an entablature with a frieze of carved acanthus leaves. The piers are surmounted by decorative urns with swirling gadrooning and four handles from which tumble a richly carved cluster of foliage, flowers and fruit. Attached to the outer side of each pier is a pair of stone ashlar plinths flanking a footpath.
