SP 02 28 WINCHCOMBE ABBEY TERRACE (north side) 4/11 Boundary wall with gates and piers, to - Winchcombe Abbey
- II
Boundary wall, piers, gates. 1835. Cut and squared coursed limestone on plinth, with plain chamfered weathering and weathered coping, c.2.25 m high overall but swept up at left-hand end at junction with gate piers to St Peter's Church (q.v.); extends right to include gate in arched opening and as far as wall is coped, opposite north-west corner of Lloyd's Bank (not included). Near left-hand end pair of square piers c.2.75 m high in lime- stone ashlar with ogee-mould domed cappings with similar frieze and square mouldings containing pair of wrot iron gates with segmental-shaped top, spear-head verticals and intermediates and decorative hanging-rails. Near right-hand end wrot iron gate with quatrefoil panels in 4-centred arch and chamfered responds under flat coping swept up at this section of wall. This wall represents an important aspect of the tidying-up to Abbey Terrace at the time of establishing the Winchcombe Road Trustees; the road formerly was only just over 10 ft (3 m) wide here. The wall, backed by trees, is a significant townscape element in the heart of the town. (Donaldson, D N; A Portrait of Winchcombe, 1978).
