Description
A pair of wrought-iron gates, dating to the early 19th century with 20th-century additions, stand at St Martin's Gardens (Recreation Ground). The gates feature a scroll design and an overthrow bearing the lettering "St Martins" in wrought iron. Originally part of St Martin-in-the-Fields Burial Ground, consecrated in 1805 and closed in 1856, the area was opened as public gardens on 24 July 1889 by the Countess of Rosebery, who also unveiled a monument to Charles Dibdin. The original Pratt Street entrance was marked by cast-iron gates with posts topped with Greek urns, which were removed after 1974.
