Entrance Screen to the main entrance front at Kinmel

The entrance screen at Kinmel, dating from the 19th century, features impressive stone gate piers that stand approximately 6 meters high. These piers are constructed from alternating vermiculated and plain blocks and are adorned with the Hughes coat of arms beneath a wide cornice. Above the cornice, there is a block that likely once supported terminal features, such as swagged urns or lions, which are now missing.

Between the piers, there are finely crafted wrought iron gates that include braced compound iron stanchions decorated with scrolls and finials, all supported by an ornate overthrow. The side panels of the gates are also crested. The gates feature a lock rail and dog rails below, along with additional decorative elements.

The entrance screen is further enhanced by additional stone piers at the north and south ends, between which are seven bays of matching railings. These railings are separated by decorative iron stanchions and are set on a coped stone wall. The end piers have retained their swagged urn terminal cappings, adding to the overall elegance of the entrance.
