Gateway, c.1820, comprising pair of inscribed limestone ashlar piers having chamfered corners, stringcourses, fluted moulded capping, wrought iron double gates having spear-head finials, wrought iron flanking pedestrian gates having spear-head finials, inscribed limestone ashlar outer piers having chamfered corners, stringcourses, fluted moulded capping, sections of random rubble stone curved flanking walls with cut-stone coping, inscribed limestone ashlar terminating piers having chamfered corners, stringcourses, fluted moulded capping, and sections of random rubble stone flanking boundary walls to perimeter of site with squared rubble stone coping. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Whitechurch House.
A gracefully-composed gateway incorporating fine stone work to the piers, together with early-surviving wrought iron gates, which enhance the artistic design quality of the composition. The gateway, together with the attendant gate lodge (22903019/WD-30-19), forms an important element of the Whitechurch House estate, and contributes significantly to the visual appeal of the locality.
