Description
The entrance gate, gate piers, and flanking walls located immediately to the south of Longner Lodge date from around 1803 and are likely the work of architect John Nash. Constructed from red sandstone ashlar, the structure features octagonal piers, each with a moulded base, a frieze adorned with carved shields and quatrefoil panels, and a moulded top that includes an ogee cap and a crocketed finial, although the finial on the right-hand pier is missing. The gate itself consists of nine wooden panels with a middle rail. The flanking walls are divided into two sections, topped with moulded coping and ramped up towards the center, with quadrant outer sections. Each corner and end pier is octagonal and includes a base, frieze, and moulded cap. The left-hand wall is built on a high rubble base at the rear and extends backwards, ramping down to the end pier. This entrance serves as the access point to Longner Hall.
