Boundary wall, gates and gatepiers at Chantmarle Manor

The boundary wall, gates, and gatepiers at Chantmarle Manor were built around 1910 by Francis Inigo Thomas for Francis Savile.

The walls and gatepiers are made of Ham stone, with iron gates. The wall runs roughly east-west and encloses the northern side of the entrance forecourt to the house.

Starting on the southern side of Chantmarle Lane, the boundary wall features an ashlar construction with flat copings that steps up to a tall obelisk at the corner of the entrance forecourt. The wall is topped with balustrading and has piers at intervals, with recessed ogee curves forming the entrance, which includes centrally-placed piers and gates. The gates align with the avenue of trees opposite, continuing this axis through the forecourt and across the center of the south garden to the footbridge beyond.

The gate piers rest on square plinths and have tall recessed panels on their north and south faces, along with moulded sections and broad projecting cornices above. These piers are topped with decorative finials shaped like open obelisks. Between the piers are ornate wrought-iron gates.

The boundary wall extends to the west with additional sections of balustrading and piers, gradually stepping up until it connects with the service wing of the house.
