Description

This is a pair of gatepiers dating from around 1700, which were possibly brought to Trent Park by Sir Philip Sassoon in the 1930s. They are made of ashlar and feature square piers with stepped bases beneath a string course and cornices. Each pier supports an urn on a stepped pedestal, with the urns having swept and gadrooned bases and lids, along with decorative drapes and finials. The gatepiers are located approximately 25 metres to the southwest of the main entrance of Trent Park House.
