What is recorded here

Entrance gates, built c.1785, comprising rendered walls with dressed limestone quoins, plinth and capping, dressed limestone walls to entrance archway with carved limestone urns and oval enamelled plaque. Square-headed pedestrian entrances with fluted carved limestone surrounds and decorative carved limestone keystones and cast-iron gates. Segmental-arch vehicular entrance with cast-iron gate, dressed limestone voussoirs and imposts.
This gateway forms a group with the gate lodge, the cathedral and the library. The regularly proportioned gate is enhanced by the carved urns and by the well-crafted stonework that is in evidence in the keystones and openings.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
