What is recorded here
Entrance gateway from north, to Castle Hyde, erected c. 1830, comprising square-profile ashlar limestone inner and outer piers, with moulded plinths, string courses and moulded caps, and with decorative double-leaf wrought-iron gates. Lower inner piers have acorn finials and outer piers have eagles. Dressed limestone and sandstone sweeping walls between piers, with limestone copings.
These imposing and ornate gates form the northern entrance to Castle Hyde House. They are well designed and solidly constructed and form a strong focal point. The varied finials provide eyecatching decorative detail and the stonework is indicative of high quality craftsmanship.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
