Description

The gates, piers, and flanking walls at Lindrick Gate were likely built before 1729 by mason John Simpson for John Aislabie. The structure features wrought-iron gates, ashlar piers, and coursed rubble walling. The inner carriage gates include bars and dogbars with scrolling on the top rail, while the outer pedestrian gates are similar but lack the scrolls. There are ten rusticated piers, each approximately 3 metres high. The two inner pairs have banded ball and cushion finials, while the outer three pairs have shallow pyramidal caps. The infill walling is of poor quality and likely replaces iron railings or wooden palings similar to those at Studley Roger, enhancing the dramatic Lindrick drive and the view from the now-demolished Studley Hall northwards towards the Hackfall estate at Grewelthorpe.
