Gates, gatepiers and railings to Jordans' Park

Gatepiers, gates and railings, probably early C19.

MATERIALS: constructed of Ham stone and cast and wrought iron.

DESCRIPTION: a pair of wrought-iron gates elaborately decorated with open scrollwork which hang from cast-iron openwork box piers that are similarly decorated. The piers are capped with scrolled cresting and urn finials. The gates are flanked by cast-iron spearhead railings with dog bars, and a pedestrian gate in the south section. The two flanking Ham stone gatepiers are square in section and have moulded plinths, banded rustication pecked with rosettes and other motifs, and a frieze of swags and ribbons in relief. There are moulded, pyramidal coping stones. Attached to the outer face of the gatepiers are curved lengths of lower spearhead railings which terminate at low openwork box pilers that have scrolled cresting and an urn finial.
