Entrance Gates, Piers And Screen Walls And Railings To The Lawns

The entrance gates, piers, screen walls, and railings to The Lawns were built around 1900 and are made of dressed stone, brick, and cast iron. There are two stone piers, each approximately 3 meters high, featuring panelled cornices and decorative lantern finials. These are positioned next to smaller piers that connect to brick plinth quadrants, which lead to brick piers topped with ball finials. The entrance is adorned with cast iron poppy-head railings set on plinths, along with elaborate crested wrought iron double gates and similar screens between the major and minor stone piers. This structure is part of a larger, mostly man-made landscape surrounding The Lawns, an Edwardian mansion built for the Bass family, who were brewers in Burton-on-Trent.
