Gatehouse, Flanking Walls And Bollards To Maer Hall

The gatehouse, flanking walls, and bollards at Maer Hall date from the late 18th century. The gatehouse is constructed of sandstone ashlar with a stone slate roof and has a square plan featuring slightly projecting corner pilasters and a moulded cornice. It has tall, round-headed arches on the east and west sides, with the east side featuring six-panelled double gates. There are narrower subsidiary arches on the north and south sides, and above the gatehouse is a clock house with a plain open pediment topped by globe finials, and clocks on the east and west faces. The flanking walls to the north and south are also made of ashlar and each has a round-headed doorway, although the northern doorway is now blocked by a later outbuilding that is not included in this listing. Both walls end in square pilasters with chamfered capping and globe finials. In front of the gatehouse, there are two cast-iron bollards designed as fluted columns with polychrome painted caps.
