Description
The stile and a 5 metre length of walling, located approximately 30 metres north of Plompton Square, are likely from the late 18th century. The wall is made of coursed squared gritstone and stands about 1.2 metres high, featuring flat coping. The 5 metre section of the wall is centered on the stile. The stile consists of four steps and a square platform, which is approximately 60 centimetres high, built into each side of the wall. The opening in the wall is blocked by a thin stone slab set on edge. This wall marks the southern boundary of the pleasure grounds created for Daniel Lascelles around 1760 as part of the Plompton Hall estate. The steps of the stile show significant wear but do not lead to an existing public footpath. The stile likely dates back to the time when Plompton Square was home to the employees of Plompton Hall and serves as a shortcut to the house and farm, bypassing the lodge gates.
