Description

The inner and outer pairs of gate piers, with gates, located approximately 50 metres east of Newby Hall, were constructed around 1870 by William Burges for Lady Mary Vyner. They are made of grey gritstone and feature wrought-iron gates. Each of the four piers stands about 4 metres high and includes a moulded base, recessed panels adorned with reliefs of animals, tools, and trophies, a garlanded frieze, and a deep cornice leading to an entablature. The piers are topped with an embossed vase that has an ornate lid and a bud finial. The gates consist of double inner gates and single outer gates, which include bars, dogbars, a lock rail, and scrolled overthrows.
