Description
The walls enclosing the front garden of Clapton Farmhouse, along with the gate piers, are likely from the 18th century. They are constructed from local squared rubble stone, with Doulting stone used for the gate piers. The rubble walls are approximately 1.5 meters high and extend southward from the farmhouse, featuring a gateway in the south wall. On the eastern side, there are swept steps leading uphill, backed by brick only on this wall. The gate piers are about 750 millimeters square in plan, standing around 4 meters high and spaced 3.35 meters apart. They have tall moulded plinths, plain pillars, and deep moulded caps that terminate in necked bowls and obelisk finials.
