Description
The gate piers at Moulton Hall date from the mid-17th century and were built for the Smithson family. They are made of ashlar and feature chamfered rusticated piers that lack bases. The piers have elaborate capitals, a cyma reversa frieze, and a dentil cornice, topped with ball finials on deeply-moulded bases. It appears that the eastern pier has been renewed. These gate piers are likely the same ones depicted in an early 18th-century drawing of Moulton Hall found in Samuel Buck's Yorkshire Sketchbook, suggesting they have been relocated to their current position north of the hall.
