Description

The garden wall and gatepiers to Troston Hall, dating from the early 19th century, are located to the west of the house. They consist of a pair of tall, square gate piers made of red brick, which were originally covered with stucco. Each pier is topped with a moulded stone cap and a large ball finial. Behind each pier, there is a similar, larger stone ball lying on the ground. Curving away from each pier is a short, low section of red brick garden wall. This structure is included for its group value with the house.
