Garden Wall, Gate Piers And Gate

The garden wall, gate piers, and gate date from the early 18th century. The wall and piers are constructed of 18th-century gault and red brick, featuring Flemish bond on the front and English bond in the wall leading to the yard. The red brick gate piers sit on a gault brick base and have fine mortar joints, topped with a moulded stone cornice that is now painted black. This cornice is adorned with stone urns that feature masks, swag decorations, and flame bursts from gadroon capping. The original wrought iron gate includes side standards and an overthrow made up of two bifurcated scrolls that meet at a trident, decorated with nibs. The gate features square section stiles, verticals, and a top and lockrail, with the lockrail displaying a panel of S scrolls. The bottom rail has a dograil decorated with arrowheads. The flanking wall is made of gault brick and has a low stone gable coping. At the ends, the piers are also of gault brick but have red brick quoins and similar coping. The side wall returning to the house is constructed of alternating courses of red and gault brick in English bond.
