Gates And Gate Piers To West, South And East Of St Georges Gardens

The gates and gate piers located to the west, south, and east of St George's Gardens in Newtown were formerly part of the churchyard of the demolished church of St George, which was designed by Thomas Rickman in 1821. These features include cast iron gate piers and gates that exhibit elements of Perpendicular and decorated Gothic styles. The octagonal stone piers are encased in openwork, taller three-tier iron turrets that feature delicate tracery in the heads of the panels, along with quatrefoils and miniature arches topped with crenellated crowns. The gates themselves have moulded dog ears positioned below pairs of two-light arches adorned with decorated tracery, as well as cusped and ball flower finial cresting.
