Description
The gatepiers to the south of Gosforth Hall were built around 1658 for Robert and Isabel Copley. They are made of sandstone and are square in plan, standing approximately 12 feet high overall. Each gatepier features monolithic uprights with cavetto and roll mouldings between a plinth block and a frieze that has scroll decoration. At the top, there is a deeply moulded capital adorned with cable decoration, which is surmounted by a large ball finial on an ornately-moulded plinth. The capital mouldings originally extended as coping to walls that are now demolished, which flanked the drive.
