Description
The school gates and piers in Piddletrenthide are likely from the tomb of Lady Margaret Beaufort in Westminster Abbey and date back to the 16th century. They are made of wrought iron, featuring spear-headed uprights with horizontal rails. The upper rail is broad and has a cable-moulding with lozenge-shaped jewels underneath. The gates include square-set hinge parts with decorative three-stage weather buttresses that resemble a Doric column above the top rail, supporting a finial. The gate piers, which are probably early 19th century, are rusticated and pointed, made of monolithic stone. These gates were part of John Bridge's collection and were removed from Westminster Abbey around 1820. They were relocated to the new school in 1999.
