Description

The entrance gates at Newington House are a notable feature dating from the mid-17th century, originally commissioned by Walter Dunch. The gate piers are constructed from limestone ashlar and have moulded bases and cornices, topped with stone griffons on coronets that hold stone cartouches displaying arms. Both the inner and outer faces of the piers feature shell-headed niches. The wrought-iron gates, likely from the 20th century, are designed in an 18th-century style with decorative scroll-work. The griffons, which represent the Bisshopp crest, date from around 1700, while the arms depicted are of White impaling Tait and date from approximately 1777.
