East Boundary Wall And Gateway About 15 Metres East Of Eyewell House

The east boundary wall and gateway, located about 15 meters east of Eyewell House, were constructed between 1924 and 1925 by Sir E Guy Dawber. The wall is made of local lias stone that is cut and squared, with Ham stone dressings. It spans approximately 80 meters in length and features a stepped design, varying in height from 1.75 to 2.75 meters, with curved sweeps at each step. The top of the wall is marked by square stones set on edge. The convex curve returns to the gateway, which consists of lengths of timber fencing set on low stone walls with Ham stone copings. This connects to plain square gate-piers topped with flat Ham stone caps that have ball finials. The wrought-iron gates are likely of a later date. Additionally, three meters northwest of the gateway, there is a well enclosed by stone, which includes a lead pump and spout marked with "H H 1808," though this is not the Eyewell referred to elsewhere. This boundary wall and gateway are significant components of the original design, enhancing the setting of Eyewell House.
