Description
Grade II. Circa 1860 and in materials and style similar to the house. Three smaller piers with curved flank walls. Railings with lotus tops; wrought iron gates with emblem of St Hubert (B1).
The list date of 1860 for the entrance gates in St Huberts Lane must be wrong since they would not have been erected until the road was moved away from the house and after Colonel Le Poer Trench bought the estate, the gates bearing his family emblem of the St. Huberts’ stagheads. That places them between 1887 and about 1900. From architects’ plans produced in 1988 it is evident that the gates were widened in or soon after 1988 and the outer section of each gate is clearly modern as are the gate piers. The flanking railings and wall facing St. Huberts Lane look original. See report for detail and photos (B7).
