9/147 The Railings, gate and gate piers about 9 metres south of Donisthorpe
17.4.59
GV II*
Railings, gate and gate piers. Probably C18. Wrought iron, on stone plinths now almost buried. Plain waisted and collared spikes, with leaf curls to bases to exclude small animals; thick braced standards with urn finials: gate piers have scroll open- work to all four facets, with repousse work tops; ornate gate to match. A rare survival of such quality C18 ironwork in a small town location (in poor condition at time of survey, June 1984).
