Description
Two Ionic columns are located in the forecourt of the Grosvenor Hotel on High Street. These columns are probably from the early 19th century and were brought from London. They are made of Portland Stone and appear to have been reduced in height by the removal of one section. The hotel itself has an early 19th-century core but has undergone significant alterations and is not listed.
