Gates, Piers And Boundary Walls To Number 25 Upwey Manor

The gates, piers, and boundary walls at Number 25 Upwey Manor date from the early to mid-19th century. They are constructed from rubble and coursed rubble, with cast-iron elements. In front of the northern facade of the Manor House, there is a pair of heavy cast-iron gates featuring square bars, dog-bars, and spearhead tops. These gates are set between square stone banded piers that alternate between vermiculated and dressed stone, resting on moulded bases and topped with moulded cappings that support stone urns on double-stepped blockings; the right pier was overgrown at the time of the survey. To the left, a wall approximately 2.2 meters high is made of coursed rubble with a stone-on-edge coping, which drops to about 2 meters in height and features a deep weathered coping capped with four courses of brickwork and brick-on-edge. This wall extends to the corner of the lane leading to Manor Barn. On the right side, the wall ends at a square pier made of Portland stone with a heavy capping, then curves into Watery Lane, where it stops at another pier. The wall continues as the boundary for West Manor, Church Street.
