Description
Gates, railings, screen walls, and an attached garden wall to Marlborough House date from the early 19th century. The tall wrought-iron railings feature alternate fleur-de-lis finials on a granite-coped plinth. The gates have arched bracing and a ramped top rail, supported by slender open piers topped with urns and fleur-de-lis. Short flanking stuccoed screen walls include rusticated blind round arches, which are flanked by panelled pilasters, each with a central top panel surmounted by urns. The tall rubble garden wall on the right has scantle coping and red clay ridge tiles. The semicircular-on-plan railings include a central gateway, with a similar recess in the wall opposite to allow for carriage turning.
