Gates, Piers And Railings To South Of Cleveland Tontine Inn

The gates, piers, and railings to the south of the Cleveland Tontine Inn are notable features dating from the 18th century. The gates have an 18th-century appearance and may have been relocated from another site, while the rest of the structure is likely 20th-century work designed to match. Constructed from wrought iron and sandstone, the railings are set on a stone plinth and extend from the south-west corner of the house to the southern end of the property, terminating in a pier topped with a pyramidal cap. The railings feature twist-head standards and ornamental crested panels. The double gates are mounted on taller piers with rock-faced cappings and include side panels and an elaborate overthrow, all adorned with decorative scrolls, spirals, flowers, and the initials R.P. These elements are included for their group value.
