Buscot Park: Southern Screen With Attached Terrace Walls And Gate Piers

Buscot Park features a southern screen with attached terrace walls and gate piers, designed around 1935 by Geddes Hyslop for the 2nd Baron Faringdon. The structure is made of wrought iron and limestone ashlar. The wrought-iron screen spans the main axis of the mansion and consists of three sections separated by taller ornamented standards. It is flanked by tall ashlar piers topped with ball finials. Stone balustrades extend around the ends of the main terrace and connect to the plain retaining walls of the lower terraces, which lead to the panelled southern piers at the south-east and south-west entrances to the forecourt, where they rise to raised balustrades. This screen is part of an elaborate formal landscape scheme surrounding the mansion.
