Description
The forecourt walls and gate piers located west of Tregrehan House date from the mid-19th century and are likely the work of W Eden Nesfield. Constructed from Pentewan stone ashlar, the walls feature a shaped entrance and straight return walls leading towards the house. The square piers are topped with lions rampant and are complemented by tall coped walls, plinths, and moulded cornices. These structures are part of a significant group of buildings and garden features associated with Tregrehan House.
