Description

The front garden wall at West Farm is made of limestone rubble and stands about 1 meter high, topped with stone slab coping. In the center, there are square stone gate piers, also with stone slab coping, supporting a 19th-century iron gate. This gate features circular uprights with finials that alternate in height above the top and middle rail. The finials consist of scrolls on either side of a central stem, with the upper finials having a shorter central stem.
