Description
The gates and gate piers to The Crippets are located on the boundary of Leckhampton and Shurdington Civil Parishes. They date from the mid to late 19th century and are made of cast and wrought iron. The square piers feature wrought iron scrollwork and a ball finial topped with a dove. The double gates are designed with spear-headed uprights and Vitruvian scrollwork at the bottom. The Crippets was the residence of Dr. Edward Wilson, who perished during Captain Scott's ill-fated expedition to the South Pole in 1912. It is also reputed that these gates once served as the entrance to the Old Well at Cheltenham.
