What is recorded here

Gateway, built 1844, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of lichen-spotted granite ashlar piers on cut-granite plinths having battlemented capping supporting quatrefoil-detailed timber double gates. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Wells House.

A gateway erected to a design by Daniel Robertson (d. 1849) making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene at the entrance on to the grounds of the Wells House estate (cf. 15702550). NOTE: A surviving drawing (August 1835) titled ""General Plan for rotoring the Great Avenue at Wells the Seat of Robert Doyne Esquire"" shows an alternative scheme with gate lodges.

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