Description
The gates, gate piers, and flanking walls located approximately 5 metres to the northeast of Shrewsbury Lodge were constructed around 1892 by Aston Webb. They are made of red sandstone ashlar set on dressed red sandstone plinths. The wall and gates stretch approximately 30 metres long, returning to the north at the eastern end.
There are two square gate piers, each featuring a chamfered plinth, projections on each face with scrolled tops, a moulded string to the frieze, a moulded cornice, and a cap topped with a globe finial. The pair of large ornamental wrought-iron gates includes dog bars, an ornamental lock, top bars, and a central panel on each gate adorned with scrollwork and elaborate scrolled cresting with repoussé work.
To the west, there is a pedestrian gateway consisting of a plain square pier with a domed cap and an ornamental wrought-iron gate with an elaborate overthrow. The flanking walls have a chamfered plinth, plain balustrading, ramped coping, and square end piers with domed caps. This gateway, along with the associated Shrewsbury Lodge, was once the main entrance to Yeaton Peverey, also designed by Aston Webb, although the drive is now disused.
