Gate piers and gates

II

Pair of gate piers with double gates, pedestrian gate and screen, at entrance to
north drive to Ashtead Park House. Dated 1882 on gates; recently restored.
Portland stone and wrought-iron. The piers are approx. ½-metre square in section
and approx. 4 metres high, with 3 raised vermiculated bands, cornice, cubic
upper stage with panelled sides, moulded cornice and ball finial on swept
pedestal. The very large double gates are hung on square wrought-iron standards
filled with scrollwork and finished with urn finials; each gate has spear-headed
dog-bars, a low band of spindles, a central panel of scrollwork, an upper band of
spindles with figures "18" and "82" attached to the left and right gates
respectively, and elaborate scrolled cresting rising to a central ramp. To the
right is a pedestrian gate in similar but simpler style, and to the left a screen
which matches this. The item is similar in style to the set of gate piers on Park
Lane (q.v.).
