Entrance gates on NE side have sandstone ashlar piers with plinths and pyramid caps, double iron gates each with mid rail between opposed curved strengthening bars, spearheads and urns to hanging stile. Some 22m length of railing to left, to right railings curve around to N pedestrian gate with matching ironwork and shortened piers and then continue some 10 m around to another set of double gates at SW but piers with wrought iron overthrow and lampholder. Final length of some 10m of railings to right, along Birch Lane.
