Gate Piers And Flanking Walls Immediately East North East Of The Mansion

The gate-piers and flanking walls located immediately east-north-east of The Mansion were constructed between 1906 and 1908 by architect George Hubbard, with the building work carried out by H and J Matthews, builders from Berkhamsted, for Sir John Evans, an archaeologist. These structures are made of rusticated red brick and feature flanking quadrant walls that have similar terminal piers. The gate-piers are adorned with moulded stone necking and cornices, and they are topped with elaborately scrolled wrought-iron lamp standards and lamps. The quadrant walls are built in header bond purple brick, decorated with red brick diaperwork and finished with stone coping. The wrought-iron gates are later replacements. The Mansion was originally known as Britwell.
