Description
The pair of gate piers at the entrance to Boringdon Hall, likely built in the late 17th century for the Parkers of Boringdon, are constructed from rusticated granite ashlar. They feature plinths, moulded cornices, and shaped caps topped with ball finials. The piers are square in shape and each has a half-domed niche on the front. These gate piers are similar to others located northwest of Boringdon in South Hams and to those southeast of Saltram House on Merafield Road, which were originally from Boringdon.
