Description
The gate piers and flanking railings, located 170 metres south-west of The Grange, are an entrance gateway likely built in the 19th century. They are constructed from local stone and feature cast ironwork. The wing walls are made of coursed stone rubble, averaging 1 metre in height, with ashlar copings. These walls are set parallel to the drive and curve towards the main road, extending approximately 6 metres in total length. The gateway includes rusticated piers with square caps, and the straight section is topped with cast iron railings that have barbed arrow finials. The gate piers are made of ashlar, measuring about 500 millimetres square, with plinths and slightly moulded tops that lead up to ball finials. The gates themselves are made of cast iron, featuring a depressed curve top and middle rails. This structure significantly enhances the street scene and the setting of The Grange.
