G.V. II
At the west end, the curved low walls to either side of the gate have semicircular copings topped by railings with square-section standards. The large, rusticated gate piers have moulded bases and dentil ornament to cornices; stepped tops with large urn finials. Wrought-iron double gates have foliate scrollwork decoration to curved top rail; openwork panel with initials in foliate frame to centre of each gate. These gates were awarded first prize for modern ornamental ironwork by the Lord Lieutenant of Oxfordshire in the mid C20. Only the gate piers, without urns, survive at the east end; a ha-ha wall closes the south side.
