probably designed by G. Somers Clarke for the Johnson family. Sandstone gate
piers; iron gates. High Victorian Gothic.
Gate piers square on plan at the base the upper sections octagonal; pair of
iron gates; 2 sections of outward curving fencing to left and right.
Elaborate High Victorian gate piers, the upper parts battered, one batter with
a brattished cornice. Each pier is crowned with a Gothic style iron lamp
bracket with ornamental detail. The gates have curved diagonal braces, spike
finials, a solid middle rail with pierced ornament and a standard ornamented
