Gates, Piers And Flanking Quadrant Walls At Newnham House

The gates, piers, and flanking quadrant walls at Newnham House date from the 19th century. They feature a pair of wrought iron gates that measure approximately 1.5 meters by 2.25 meters, set between sandstone piers that are 600 millimeters square and 2.75 meters high. The piers have heavy cross-gabled cappings adorned with a dentil frieze and simple acroteria at the corners. The curved flanking sandstone walls rise to 2.2 meters and have a pecked surface with dressed margins to the courses above an unmoulded plinth and unmoulded coping. The walls lead to plain piers that are 420 millimeters square with plain caps. The overall structure includes an approximately 8-meter run in an 'S' bend to the left pier and about 2.5 meters of quadrant to the right pier.
