Description
The forecourt wall, gatepiers, gates, and overthrows to the chapel date from around 1765 and were originally built for the Countess of Huntingdon's Chapel, which is now the Building of Bath Museum. The chapel is fronted by a stone plinth with arrow-head railings that rise at the sides to meet stone piers topped with cornices. On either side of the courtyard, there are double gates with long and short arrow-head railings, flanked by corniced piers that support wrought iron ogee-arched overthrows adorned with scrolls at both the bases and tops. One of the gate piers is inscribed with sunken capitals that read 'FORMERLY COUNTESS OF HUNTINGDON'S CHAPEL A.D. 1766'. Additionally, metal banners that follow the ogee curves display the text 'THE COUNTESS OF HUNTINGDON'S CHAPEL'.
