Wrought iron gates probably commisssioned in the 18th century and inspired by the work of Robert Bakewell, a pupil of Tijou, a Heugenot, credited with introducing the renaissance of English iron work. Exceptional craftsmanship with single and double water leaves and repousse leaf and flower motifs. See (S2)
