Garden Wall, Gatepiers And Urns Fronting Kildwick Hall

The garden wall, gate piers, and urns fronting Kildwick Hall were originally listed with the Justice Room. The structure includes a wall, gate piers featuring lions, and four urns. The lions and urns are likely from the late 17th century, created for Hugh Currer, and were probably reset on the wall and piers in the mid-18th century for Haworth Currer or Richard Richardson. The wall is made of coursed gritstone rubble and measures approximately 65 meters long, running between the Justice Room and a garden pavilion. It stands about 1.5 meters high at the front of the house, rising to over 2 meters at the eastern end. The wall's coping is ridged with a roll moulding, and the flat top is interrupted by large square blocks that serve as bases for the urns.

The urns consist of two pairs flanking the gateway; one pair has a narrow stem, a gadrooned flattened body, and a small ball finial, while the other pair features a similar stem, a moulded body with strapwork, a cover, and a ball finial. All urns have been considerably restored. The gate piers, located opposite the house entrance, are rusticated with frontal pilasters and rectangular jambs capped by reversed consoles shaped like acanthus leaves. They also have an entablature and cornice moulding similar to that of the Justice Room, with half pediments that are rolled at the break and finished with a rosette. Atop each pier is a heavily restored heraldic lion passant, regardant.

The wall is depicted in Whitaker's 1805 publication, where the capped urns are shown adorned with swags of flowers below the rim. The wooden gates illustrated in that work, featuring solid panels below and rails above, were still present in 1911, as documented in a Country Life photograph. The lions are made from a similar material to the plaque above the front door of the hall, which bears the arms of Currer and Haworth, and their style is more primitive compared to that of the piers.
