What is recorded here
Gateway, c.1750, comprising pair of limestone ashlar piers with inscribed cut-limestone panels, carved cut-limestone courses supporting cut-limestone capping, sections of wrought iron flanking railings leading to limestone ashlar outer piers having carved cut-limestone courses supporting cut-limestone capping, and random rubble limestone boundary wall to perimeter of site. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Woodsgift House.
An elegantly-appointed gateway displaying high quality stone masonry while retaining early iron work contributing to the design significance of the composition. Making a pleasing visual impression on the side of the road the gateway survives as an important reminder of a once-extensive estate following the loss of the main house in the early twentieth century (Woodsgift House, c.1750; burnt, 1914; demolished, post-1914).
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
