Estate Walls and Gate Piers, Ingleby Manor

The estate walls and gate piers date from the late 16th to early 17th century, with later alterations. They are constructed from coursed, tooled limestone blocks, with ashlar gate piers topped with saddleback copings. A stone-cobbled pavement and a wrought-iron gate are also present.

The walls form a roughly linear boundary running north-east to south-west, defining the parkland of Ingleby Manor, situated on its north-western boundary and set back from Church Lane by a grass verge. The wall can be divided into northern, central, and southern sections. The northern section is approximately 31.5 metres long, runs parallel to Church Lane, then deflects south for the final 15 metres alongside the carriage road to Ingleby Manor. Here, a 1.5-metre length turns 90 degrees to meet an ashlar gate pier. This gateway is flanked by channelled rusticated ashlar gate piers raised on narrow plinths, with projecting stone gateposts, alternate projecting courses, moulded cornices, and pyramidal finials. The central section has a similar 1.5-metre length that meets a west gate pier before curving and deflecting south-west for approximately 24 metres, terminating at a pedestrian gateway. This gateway is flanked by projecting ashlar gate piers with saddleback coping stones and incorporates a decorative wrought-iron pedestrian gate, dated to the 1960s. The gate has scroll decoration with leaf terminals, an overthrow, and a twisted-leaf spear finial. A cobbled path leads from this gateway across Church Lane to steps that once provided access through the churchyard wall of the Church of St Andrew. The southern length of wall, approximately 28 metres long, continues parallel to Church Lane before slightly deflecting south-by-south-west to the stone-lined bank of Ingleby Beck, where it terminates in a stepped wall pier featuring a 20th-century decorative finial in the shape of a teddy bear and three projecting keystones.
