Description

St John's Lodge Garden features two stone piers linked by steps at Hylas Fountain Rondpoint. These piers were constructed around 1846 as part of Sir Joseph Paxton's enlargement program for the villa and may have been reset during landscaping in the 1890s or later. They share the same design as the forecourt gate piers and are channelled with cornice caps that are surmounted by escutcheons, possibly added by Lord Bute. The piers flank a formal axis that is connected by curved stone steps with console parapets.
