Gateway Boundary Wall To The South Of Norton Manor

The gateway and boundary wall to the south of Norton Manor is an ornamental structure dating from 1623, which was re-erected and incorporated into a new boundary wall in 1901. The gateway is made of ashlar stone, while the wall is constructed from coursed rubble with flush rusticated dressed stone quoins and ashlar copings. It features a wrought iron gate and railings. The gateway has a round arch with moulded jambs, a bracketed keystone, coved spandrels adorned with roundel decoration, and a gabled lintel with ball finials at both ends. The low wall ramps up to the gateway and at its ends, also featuring ball finials and simple lance railings. The gate has similar railings. The gateway was relocated during Captain C.H. Fenwick's ownership of Norton Manor, likely under the guidance of F.A. Lawson of Stroud. There is a corresponding gateway located on the south side of Sherston Road.
