Description

TA 09 SW 5/40

SCALBY HIGH STREET (north side) Gate piers within Yew Court grounds, approximately 10 metres to west of house

II

Pair of gate piers. c1742. Dressed sandstone. Circular on plan, approximately 2 metres in diameter. Half-glazed doors to garden side, with decorative iron glazing bars. Heavy stone lintels. 2 small oval openings, originally unglazed, to street side of each pier. Projecting moulded cornice below the domed tops which were apparently rebuilt in C19. There is a corresponding projecting stone band inside each pier, at the base of the concave roof. The piers were probably erected in 1742 when Yew Court was built on the site of an earlier building, thought to be of ecclesiastical origins. They were depicted-in 2 paintings by John Atkinson Grimshaw in 1877, now held in the Leeds City Art Gallery.
