Pair Of Gate Piers Approximately 40 Metres To South East Of Albrighton Hall

This is a pair of gate piers located approximately 40 metres southeast of Albrighton Hall, likely dating from the late 17th century. They are made of grey sandstone ashlar and consist of two square piers, each featuring a moulded plinth, chamfered rustication, a moulded cornice, and a concave cap topped with a globe finial. Each pier has a small projection on its inside face. At the time of the survey in January 1987, there were no gates present. The piers are aligned with the main entrance of Albrighton Hall and were likely part of the original main approach to the house. However, it is possible that they were relocated to this site during the house's enlargement in 1885. There is also a pair of similar piers, which have been moved from their original location, near the south lodge of the house, but neither the piers nor the lodge are included in this listing.
