- II*
GV
Gate in stone dressed opening, early C17. Removed from Nantwich and
re-erected in its present position following the demolition of the
Roger Wilbraham Almshouses in 1872 (County Records) wrought iron gate
with central sun feature, and infilling of scrolls in square bar
frame. The gate is in an ovolo moulded stone opening, with strapwork
head, surmounted by a raised pedimented canopy, which contains an
arched opening. The opening contains an acroterion-like shell feature
mounted on a scotia moulded base. The gate is flanked by niches, with
strapwork decorated semi-circular heads, which contain busts of
Elizabeth I and a male courtier. The niches are surmounted by short
lengths of projecting moulded cornice, these support heraldic lions
which flank the pediment. The gateway is set into a brick wall which
has short lengths of twice weathered stone coping both sides of the
feature.
