Description
The railings and gate piers located approximately 20 meters south of the west gateway to Thornton Stud date from the late 18th century. They are made of ashlar stone and wrought iron. At each end, there is a square stone pier that is rusticated and features a band, frieze, cornice, and a stepped blocking course. Above each pier is a base for an urn. The railings are plain and curve back in a quarter circle towards what may have been a gateway, which has since been replaced by a house built in the 1930s. This structure is part of a composition that includes the western gates and railings leading to Thornton Hall, which has been demolished.
