Description
Gates, gatepiers, and block stones located about 15 metres east of Edgeborough Farmhouse date from the mid-19th century and were moved to this site in the early 1930s. They are possibly the work of John Norton. The gatepiers are made of blue lias stone, squared and coursed, featuring stepped pyramid tops, a cavetto moulded cornice, and a chamfered plinth. The gates are double, made of cast iron in a Gothic style, decorated with trefoil-headed uprights, quatrefoil friezes, curved cross pieces, and fleurs-de-lys heads that still show traces of gilding. The block stones consist of cast iron panelled columns topped with ball finials and pyramid tops. It is noted that these elements were reportedly removed from a house in Taunton in the early 1930s, making it uncommon to find a complete set of gates with the original block stones intact.
