Description

This listing describes two piers, railings, a dwarf wall, gatepiers, gates, and a lamp carrier that front the Church of St. Andrew. Built between 1863 and 1865, the design is attributed to architect John Norton. The piers are made of dressed blue lias stone with ashlar limestone caps, featuring a moulded cornice and plinth, and topped with a pyramid shape that has a cluster of foliage. The piers stand about 1.5 meters tall at the outer edges of the railings. The railings are set in a dwarf wall made of cast iron and random rubble, showcasing fleur de lys standards and tripartite uprights arranged in eight bays on either side of the central cast iron gatepiers. The gatepiers are adorned with fleur de lys heads and inset quatrefoil panels, with a lamp carrier positioned above. The double gates are designed to match the railings.
