Description
A pair of moulded chimneys serve as gateposts located to the south of the Rye House Gatehouse on the causeway at the southwest corner of the moat. These features likely originated from Rye House, built around 1443, and were repositioned around 1868 by Henry Teale as part of his public pleasure garden. The gateposts are constructed of red brick with stone cappings and stand about 3 metres high. They consist of two tall, spiral fluted chimneys made of moulded brick, featuring moulded bases and capitals that resemble those on the gatehouse. Each post is topped with a square moulded stone capping. These gateposts are also part of a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
