Description

The gateway and wing walls, located 400 meters south of Hazelgrove House, are likely from the 18th century. They are constructed from Ham stone, with some Portland stone and red brick. The gateway is aligned with the house and features square plan piers made of Ham ashlar. These piers have a moulded plinth, three fielded panels on the south face, a plain frieze, and cornice mould tops, along with Portland stone stops and carved beasts on cabled bases. The wrought iron gates have segmental top rails, with much of the hollow filled with scrollwork, and additional scrollwork on the sides and middle rails, along with two tiers of barbed point rails at a lower level. Each outer face of the piers has small rusticated ashlar buttresses and scroll braces, leading down to a low brick wall that initially curves before marking a straight boundary to a ha-ha. This wall is about 160 meters long and topped with moulded Ham stone copings. The gateway and wing walls are an important feature in the setting of Hazelgrove House.
