Gate Piers, Gates, Walls And Railings About 10 Yards North East Of Lodge Of Holme Lacy House

The gate piers, gates, walls, and railings located about 10 yards north-east of the Lodge of Holme Lacy House are likely from the early 19th century. They are constructed from sandstone and limestone ashlar, as well as wrought iron. The walls and gate piers are arranged in a curve that runs roughly from west-south-west to east-north-east. There are six gate piers featuring a hammered rusticated finish and deep plain cornices. The inner pair of piers has pyramidical cappings, while the lower outer two pairs are connected by dwarf quadrant walls and topped with large gadrooned limestone urns instead of pyramidical cappings. The central two-leaved gates have scrolled tops on the main bars and dog bars. The pedestrian gates situated between the two inner pairs of piers share a similar design but feature curved top rails that rise to the higher inner piers. The railings between the outer piers have pointed bars and two main bars with finials. Additionally, a curved squared sandstone wall with a plain capping is attached to the easternmost pier. It is possible that the urns may date back to the early 18th century.
