Description
The walls, gates, and railings at the front of Ashlands Church of England School were built in 1896. They are made of rubblestone with a Ham Hill stone plinth capping and piers, featuring wrought and cast-iron railings. Square piers with incised trefoils on their chamfered tops flank a low wall that steps downhill to the right. This wall supports two horizontal, thick, square, twisted railings that are threaded through two cast-iron verticals for each section. The supports have square blocks at the joints and elaborate domed tops. There are three wrought-iron gates: single gates on the sides and a double gate to the right of center, all featuring spiked tops and bands with pointed quatrefoils at the base. This structure is included for its group value as part of a visually impressive design.
