Gateway and railings to Clytha Park

The gateway and railings to Clytha Park are an entrance screen constructed in the Gothic style, dating from the 19th century. The gateway features a tripartite design made of Bath stone ashlar, with a central carriage arch flanked by two pedestrian arches. The central double iron gates and single gates on either side have ramped top rails, with a mid-rail adorned with spearheads and dog-bars below.

The structure is supported by four ashlar piers that have plain angle shafts and splayed plinths, topped with a cornice that extends over the pedestrian gateways. Each pier is crowned with large crocketted finials and small square finials at the corners. Above the gateways, there is a continuous cresting of trefoils. The gateways themselves have Tudor-arched heads with panelled spandrels. The central gateway features a tall moulded pointed arch, which is decorated with crocketting on the exterior and rises in an ogee curve to a top finial. Above this pointed arch is a panel that is cusped with a three-leaf ornament in relief.

On either side of the gateway, there are later additions of walls and railings. These consist of a low ashlar wall topped with iron rails and urns on the stanchions. The wall has a serpentine curve, and each end features a cross-gabled cap on the ashlar pier, with traceried panels on the sides.
