Old Entrance Gateway, River Wall and secondary Gate of Monmouth Boys School

Built of roughly squared and coursed old red sandstone with dressed quoins, and other dressings in Forest of Dean sandstone. Castellated wall running west along the A40 for about 75m from Wyebridge Street and returning north to meet the Design and Technology Centre (qv) on Wyebridge Street. The wall, about 3m in height, is topped by coped castellations standing on a band, both of Forest stone. The old entrance gate, now blocked, is canted across the corner and has a 4-centred arch flanked by octagonal turrets with pepper pot tops. Above the arch are the arms of the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers with supporting shields. Along to the left is an arched footgate with a decorative double wrought iron gate of C18 date which was brought from Haberdashers' Hall in London.
