Gatepiers, Wall And Gates Adjacent To Lodge, Guiting Stud

The gate piers, wall, and gates adjacent to the lodge at Guiting Stud date from the mid-19th century. They are constructed from ashlar limestone and feature wrought iron gates. There are three pairs of square gate piers: one pair flanks a central double entrance, while the other pairs flank single entrances. The wall curves forward on the right with piers at either end and extends for a short distance to the left of the entrances before returning at right angles to the lodge. The piers have moulded sunken rectangular panels and moulded caps with decorative brackets below, topped with square capping stones. The linking walls have incised horizontal joints. The decorative wrought iron gates incorporate the initial "W," likely representing the Waddingham family. These gates formerly served as the main entrance to the 19th-century Italianate house built by John Waddingham, which has since been demolished.
