Description

The gatepier and attached wall form part of the south-west entrance to the Manor House. Constructed in the 17th century style, but likely dating to the early 20th century, the gatepier is probably the work of Sir Edward Lutyens. It is built of ironstone ashlar, featuring square rusticated piers and a moulded entablature topped with bottle-shaped finials. To the left of the gatepier is a wall, likely original to the 17th century, constructed of coursed limestone and ironstone rubble with a moulded stone coping.
