Description
Victoria Gate, railings, and a pier to the north are located at Castle Howard and date from the early 18th century. They were commissioned by Charles Howard, the 3rd Earl of Carlisle. The structure features wrought iron and sandstone ashlar. The rusticated pier is cruciform in shape, approximately 5 meters tall, and includes a moulded cornice, a pyramidal cap, and a pineapple finial. A similar pier is located to the south and is listed as the angle pier of the walls to the walled garden. The gates and railings stand about 4 meters high. The railings consist of spearhead bars with dog bars and scrolled standards topped with finials. The gates feature dog bars and scrollwork, flanked by fretted standards that are surmounted by openwork urns. An elaborately scrolled overthrow displays the cipher of Charles Howard, topped by a crown. The structure has been re-sited at the extension of the walls to the walled garden to the west.
