Cadw's description
Location
To the SW of the house, on the E side of a minor road to Higher Wych.
History
Iscoyd Park was built in the early C18 and was extended by William Hanmer in 1747. From 1780 it was owned by Rev Richard Congreve (d 1782) and his descendants, who sold it to Philip Lake Godsal in 1843. The present gate piers are possibly contemporary with the 1747 extension of the house. They were moved to their present position when the public road was diverted in the 1780s, and are shown in their present position on an estate plan of 1781. The piers are flanked on each side by an oak pale erected in 1960.
Exterior
Square rusticated gate piers have bold ball finials. The wooden gate has crossed bars.
Reason for designation
Listed for their special architectural interest as well-detailed C18 gate piers and special historic interest for their contribution to the historical integrity of Iscoyd Park.
