Description
A set of four gate piers, dating from the late 19th century, is located about 30 yards east of the Abbey Church of St Michael and All Angels. They were probably designed by Peter Paul Pugin and are constructed of sandstone with limestone dressings and oak gates. The piers are square in shape and set diagonally. There are two pedestrian gates on either side of a carriageway, with single gates on the sides and a double gate at the center. The lateral piers feature tapered caps with a knop finial, while the central piers are more substantial, having a moulded band beneath the cap and below the knop finial. The gates, which do not appear to be original, follow a pre-existing pattern. They consist of two rows of open panels divided by a mid-rail, with interlacing arched struts in the lower panels and uprights, along with a cross motif in the center of each upper panel.
