What is recorded here

Vehicular gates, piers and wall screen, built c.1790, forming entrance to Red Hills estate. Square-profile ashlar piers with cornice over plain frieze crowned having pine cone finials fitting into foliated carved cups. Gate stops treated as pilasters with scrolled top rising from advanced base. Cast- and wrought-iron double gates with spear-headed finials. Straight and convex wall sweep of roughly coursed rubble limestone masonry topped with plain ashlar stone.

Imposing entrance to Red Hills estate enhanced by the textual variation between ashlar piers and tall flanking rubble walls. The large finials add great formality to the entrance further enhanced by the Italianate gate lodge set immediately behind the high wall screen.

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