MAER C.P. ASTON LANE (off north-east side) Gate piers about 150m south-west of Lea Head Manor

(Formerly listed as Gate piers at Lea Head)

II

Gate piers. Probably late C17/early C18. Rusticated sandstone ashlar. Square in section. Moulded capping (and probably plinth under gravel of drive) with half domes above, surmounted by pineapple finials. Two late C19/early C20 wrought iron gates, not included. The gate piers are not in their original position and formerly stood in front of the house; the domes and finials have been repaired with cement and the right-hand pier is twisted round and slightly damaged at time of re-survey (1984).

Comparable in style to the gate piers at Whitmore Hall, Whitmore C.P. (q.v.). If these are indeed late C17, as claimed, they are early examples of the representation of pineapples, first grown in this country in the 1660's.
