GV II
Garden walls, gates and gate piers. Gates dated 1805 and 1824,
walls and gate piers probably also early C19. Gates, said to
commemorate a young soldier, refurbished in last 10 years.
Roughcast walls, coped with pantiles and ridge-tiles;
plastered gate piers; cast- and wrought-iron gates.
Walls ramp down to gate piers, which are square section with
moulded strings below tiered caps. Pair of exceptional
C18-style gates with overthrow. Each gate has a date in a
panel below the middle, with the main verticals ornamented
with arrows, roundels and, below the top rail, pendant twists.
Left and right panels have elaborate, lobed, mushroom-shaped
finial. Above the top rail scrollwork flanks a double-headed
eagle and below it, wrought-iron initials said to be DR.
Pretty overthrow incorporates applied flowers in the
scrollwork.
Wall encloses garden of Pilton Cottage (qv) at its entrance in
Dark Lane; unusually grand and finely-made pair of entrance
gates. An exceptional example of ornamental ironwork.
