Gate Piers And Wall In Front Of The Manor House

The gate piers and wall in front of The Manor House date from the 17th century. They are made of ashlar and consist of a coursed squared and dressed limestone wall that extends from The Gazebo to a pier inside the main gate to Dowdeswell Place. The structure features square piers with moulded capitals and large draped urn finials filled with fruit. Each pier has a 20th-century lantern-style light. There are three segmental stone steps leading up to a double-width opening between the piers. The wall varies in height from 2.5 meters to 4 meters and runs away to the right and left in front of the house's facade. On the left side, there is a single-width 20th-century opening with saddleback coping that continues over.
