Garden Walls And Gateways About 15 Metres South Of The Manor House

The garden walls and gateways, located about 15 metres south of the Manor House, date from the early 17th century. Constructed from limestone rubble and freestone with stone dressings, the walls extend approximately 65 metres along the south and return about 15 metres to the north, standing about 4 metres high and stepped to the left, featuring weathered coping.

A prominent central archway in Renaissance style is flanked by engaged square Roman Doric columns with banded rustication that rise from plinths adorned with diamond mouldings. The archway includes a cornice, a triglyph and rosette frieze, all of which break forward over the columns. It is topped with two floriated urns and a central coat of arms of Sir Robert Gunning from 1678, with the urns and arms added later. The archway has a central round-headed design with voussoirs and pilasters that have similar capitals on each side. It features double doors with four raised panels and a frieze with radial carving in the upper section, along with semi-circular steps in front.

The rear of the archway lacks rustication and has plain pilasters rising from similar plinths, a simpler moulded cornice, and a triglyph and rosette frieze, with an upper cornice, arms, and urns matching the front. There is a chamfered four-centred arch surrounding a plain door at the rear. To the right, there is an entrance with a segmental head and chamfered surround, leading to a segmental-headed door in the wall to the west.
