Gates, Piers And Quadrant Walls Adjacent To Beresford Lodge

GOUDHURST BEDGEBURY ROAD TQ 73 NW (east side) 5/89 Gates, piers and quad- rant walls adjacent to Beresford Lodge GV II Gates, piers and quandrant walls. Circa 1840. Sandstone ashlar with wrought iron. Central paired carriage gates, with dog rail, and with strapwork pilaster- panels at the sides of each leaf, with bifurcated frieze and C scrolled over- throw. The gates are set between piers about 7 feet high, with cornice and ball finials, flanked by walls about 7 feet high, 10 feet in length, with vermiculated stone panels, to a second set of identical piers. Quandrant walls project in concave curve from here about 50 yards, the walls ramped down to about 5 feet, with short iron rails punctuated by strapwork panels and supporting brackets, and terminated with piers with cornice and ball finials, that to right (south) with inset postbox inscribed 'VR' (ball finial missing). Attributed to Decimus Burton, but more likely to be by Alexander Roos (see Beresford Lodge for details).
