Gate posts and gates between farm drive and landscaped gardens. 1899-1905 by Thomas
Mawson. Granite ashlar posts and wrought iron gates. The gate posts are square in
section with chamfered plinths and soffit-moulded flat caps. The double gates are
hung on wrought iron piers. They are fall height with double lockbar enriched with
scrolls and have dograils of arrowheads. Alternative rails are twisted. Other
fleur-de-lys and scroll ornament and ornate central crestwork in the manner of an
overthrow.
This gateway is part of an extensive landscaping scheme conceived by Mawson to go
with the rebuilding of Wood House. Mawson himself considered the whole scheme as
one of his major achievements.
