Gates, gateway, railings and 2 lodges. Early C18, probably by Daniel
Garrett for Richard Shuttleworth, with C19 railings and gates. Ashlar
sandstone with vertical parallel tooling, Welsh slate roofs; cast-iron
railings and gates. Central entrance with carriageway flanked by pedestrian
gates linked by wall with railings to side lodges. Gateway: central round-
arched carriageway with archivolt and square responds with caps which
continue as cornices over straight-headed side gate openings; 4 Roman Doric
half columns support open central pediment and large Doric frieze over side
gates, the cornice continuing into pediment; surmounted by 5 large urn
finials, some damaged, the inner three with gadrooning. 2 main central
gates (the northern one lying broken on the ground nearby at the time of
resurvey): moulded bars, round-arched triple "arcading", the lower halves
almost filled with decorative patterns, and with base rail with diapers and
paterae, and elaborate scrolling across the top. Side gates: of similar
design to main gates but without decorated base rail and top scrolling, and
with bronze cresting to finial. Railings: low wall supporting railings
which have round bars with decorative finials. Lodges: 1 storey, 1 bay:
Roman Doric Venetian window set within round arch, the sills continued as
band lining through with coping below railings; pediment, with inclined
parapet above terminating in circular gable chimney. Rear elevations the
same. Inner return sides of lodges: 4-panel door in rusticated quoined
surround with raised extended lintel and large tripartite keystone. Moulded
