Description
The entrance gates, boundary wall, and railings at Whitefield Chapel date from the Arts and Crafts movement and are constructed from coursed rock-faced grey rubble sandstone with Bath stone ashlar dressings. The stylish entrance gates and railings feature entrances at each end, flanked by tall gatepiers. These piers have chamfered ashlar offsets at the base and elegant tall capping stones with inclined ashlar faces and curved, moulded tops. Between the entrance gates, the boundary wall bows out towards the roadway. It consists of a low wall with chamfered ashlar coping and ornamental cast-iron railings. The stanchions of the railings include panels of tall vertical bars topped with heart-shaped art nouveau heads that have curved tops, reflecting the shape of the capping stones on the gate-piers. The gates are designed in a style similar to the railings.
