Description
This gatepier, located approximately 330 metres south of Fairgreen Farmhouse, dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It is constructed of limestone ashlar and has a square section with a moulded plinth and a boldly projecting capping topped with a swagged urn finial. The east and west faces feature scrolled pilasters with moulded capitals. The design closely resembles the gatepiers to the north of Sarsden House, which are depicted in an engraving from Kennett's Parochial Antiquities published in 1695. This gatepier is one of a pair located at the south end of the drive leading to the east of Sarsden House, which was abandoned before 1788.
