Garden Walls, Gatepiers And Gates To Cross Hill House

The garden walls, gatepiers, and gates at Cross Hill House are likely from the mid-18th century, with 19th-century gates. They are constructed of coursed squared marlstone, rubble, and brick, featuring limestone-ashlar gatepiers and wrought-iron gates. A rubble wall, approximately 3 metres high, runs from the western end of the coach-house range to Cross Hill Road, then continues eastward for about 110 metres along the road, standing between 2 metres and 2.5 metres high in squared marlstone. The eastern boundary wall is made of rubble and is around 55 metres long, with two sections of wall connecting back to Cross Hill House made of brick. There are two carriage entrances, each with double iron gates: one features plain ashlar piers with moulded bases and caps, while the eastern gateway has rusticated piers with moulded caps and pineapple finials.
