Description
The walls and gates enclosing the garden immediately west of Dillington House are an enclosure feature dating from the 19th century, likely designed by Sir James Pennethorne. Constructed from Ham stone ashlar, the walls enclose an area measuring approximately 36 metres by 36 metres, featuring 11 bays on each side and gateways at the centre of each bay. The walls include plinths and angle copings, with eight four-centre-arched openings in each bay and plain piers between, standing about one metre high. The gate piers are taller, square in plan, and topped with moulded flat caps. The gates are made of wrought iron, decorated with quatrefoil perforated sheet ornament on the bottom and middle rails, and feature arched bracing on the top rail, which has a shaped sheet fret above. This structure significantly enhances the setting of the west entrance front of Dillington House.
