Railings, gates, piers and urns to south side of South Parterre (also known as the French Garden)

The railings, gates, piers, and urns on the south side of the South Parterre, also known as the French Garden, are made of cast iron and rest on a yellow-brick plinth with ovolo-moulded stone coping. The piers are placed at regular intervals and topped with urns. At the western end, there is a 20th-century cement-based artificial stone urn in the Campana form, which is a copy of the urn at the eastern end and lacks historical or architectural significance. The eastern urn is a carved English limestone vase from around 1840, set on a bath stone pedestal.

Moving east from the 20th-century urn, there are two carved 19th-century Carrara marble vases flanking the main walk south from the Italian garden. These vases feature a gadrooned lower half, a plain frieze, and a plain undecorated rim, with simple handles curling under the rim. They stand on a socle with a stepped plinth.

On both the west and east sloping edges of the parterre, there are four Campana form Carrara marble vases, two on each side. These late 19th-century vases have a simple tulip shape, turned socles, and lack any mouldings or projections.

Flanking the main gates leading from the French Garden parterre are two marble statues, one depicting a boy with a dog and the other a girl with a dog, both placed on piers. These statues date to around 1840 and are believed to be by Terence Farrell. Historical documents suggest that the dogs represent 'Dandie' and 'Little Dick', pets of the Countess Cowper and Amabel Cowper, who are now buried in the dogs' cemetery.

Towards the eastern end of the railings, there is a pair of Campana-shaped veined marble vases with mask decorations. These vases, dating from the second half of the 19th century, have a gadrooned lower half beneath a thin band, with the upper sections undecorated except for a pair of masks carved in relief on either side. The rims are also undecorated, and the vases are supported on a moulded socle.
