Large square piers have moulded plinths and cornices, sides ornamented with richly-moulded fielded panels, and each pier carries a fine garlanded stone urn with gadrooned cover. Contemporary wrought-iron screen includes 2 standards from which hang a pair of gates with scroll work panels; a scrollwork lock rail continues across the side panels, and the standards carry cornices and finials.
