Walls, Gates, Gate Piers At Entrance To The Manor

The walls, gates, and gate piers at the entrance to The Manor date from the 18th century. They feature a coursed rubble wall on either side of the entrance, with ashlar gate piers that have a cornice and are topped by dogs. The gates are made of wrought iron with scrollwork and were added in the 20th century. The coursed rubble walls continue on either side of the drive, and there are ashlar piers with ball finials at the entrance to the courtyard. The street boundary walls are also made of rubble, standing about 6 feet 6 inches high, and they end in a ramped corner to the left, with an outhouse to the right that belongs to Manor Lodge. This outhouse is an early 20th century building in the Cotswold style, featuring a hipped roof and an open bay on piers at the north end. The courtyard is accessed through the inner gate piers, with flanking walls that return and contain arches leading to a garden path, which has ramped coping designed in the style of the Lutyen-Jekyll partnership.
