Gate Piers And Gates Beside North Lodge

ASHTEAD EPSOM ROAD TQ 1858-1958 (east side) 7/25 Gate piers and gates beside North Lodge

II

Pair of gate piers with double gates, pedestrian gate and screen, at entrance to north drive to Ashtead Park House. Dated 1882 on gates; recently restored. Portland stone and wrought-iron. The piers are approx. ½-metre square in section and approx. 4 metres high, with 3 raised vermiculated bands, cornice, cubic upper stage with panelled sides, moulded cornice and ball finial on swept pedestal. The very large double gates are hung on square wrought-iron standards filled with scrollwork and finished with urn finials; each gate has spear-headed dog-bars, a low band of spindles, a central panel of scrollwork, an upper band of spindles with figures "18" and "82" attached to the left and right gates respectively, and elaborate scrolled cresting rising to a central ramp. To the right is a pedestrian gate in similar but simpler style, and to the left a screen which matches this. The item is similar in style to the set of gate piers on Park Lane (q.v.).
