What is recorded here
Gateway, extant 1840, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of granite ashlar piers on benchmark-inscribed cut-granite chamfered plinths having stepped capping supporting replacement steel double gates with granite ashlar outer piers on cut-granite chamfered plinths having stepped capping. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Mount Henry House.
A gateway forming part of a self-contained group alongside an adjacent gate lodge (see 156070--) with the resulting ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene at the entrance on to the grounds of the Mount Henry House estate: meanwhile, a benchmark remains of additional interest for the connections with cartography and the preparation of maps by the Ordnance Survey (established 1824).
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
