Walls, Piers And Gates To Hamfield

The boundary walls, piers, and gates to Hamfield were built in the early 19th century. They are constructed from large squared and coursed limestone blocks, standing approximately 8 meters high, topped with a plain weathered coping and set on a slight plinth. The wall sweeps to the right end and runs the full width of the house, returning to the left with a quadrant of about 3 meters, before transitioning to coursed rubble at the left end of the facade. At the center, there are a pair of rusticated piers featuring a frieze and cornice, topped with stepped pyramid cappings. Access is provided by two sandstone steps leading to 20th-century wrought-iron gates.
