Description
The main entrance with boundary wall and turning point at Whitchester dates from the later 19th century and is located to the northeast of Whitchester House.
The main entrance features low coped quadrant walls that flank a recessed central entrance, which is adorned with decorative wrought-iron railings. At the outer ends, there are panelled octagonal iron piers topped with ball finials. The central area includes paired sandstone ashlar octagonal piers with tiered caps and ball finials, along with a central set of two-leaf decorative wrought-iron gates and pedestrian entrance gates in the flanking bays.
The turning point consists of a low coped unbroken quadrant wall opposite the entrance, creating a turning area. This section also has decorative wrought-iron railings and two scrolled brackets at the rear, along with a panelled octagonal iron pier with a ball finial on the outer right, while the left pier is missing.
