Description

Five lamp standards, dating from the mid-19th century, are made of cast iron. They feature slightly enriched posts and Windsor-type lanterns with decorative cresting. One pair of these lamp standards is located flanking the gates to the Abbey Church, another pair is by the gatehouse to Dean's Yard, and there is a single lamp standard in the southeast corner.
