King James Gate

King James Gate is a gate dated 1687, originally located in Broad Street. It was demolished around 1860 and re-erected in its current position in the early 20th century. The gate is constructed of ashlar stone with later brick backing and features horizontal rusticated stone. At the center, there is a tall round stone arched opening with a moulded architrave, incised voussoirs, a keystone, and a moulded impost. This opening is flanked by paired full-height Corinthian pilasters, an entablature, and a block parapet that projects over the pilasters. Each of the lower flanking wings has a projecting round stone arched opening with a keystone, imposts, and flanking pilasters, leading to a recessed 20th-century two-leaf five-panelled door. The gate also has a moulded cornice and a block parapet. The central archway features two-leaf curved ornamental iron gates adorned with scrolls, marginal pierced motifs, and spear uprights.
