Gates and gate-piers. Circa 1897-8, for the Duc d'Orleans. The gates were reputedly made by J. Starke Gardner. Wrought-iron and ashlar. Two octagonal stone piers capped by wrought-iron lamp standards with crown finials. Central pair of carriage gates hung on wrought-iron piers, flanked by two pedestrian gates. Overthrow has three fleur-de-lis on a shield borne by two angels, with the inscription "Mountjoyce Denis". The gates were formerly thought to be C18 and to have come from Versailles, via Orleans House, Twickenham. SOURCES: The Connoisseur, November 1924. Buildings of England, p 227.
