Gate at NGR TL 3274 1247
GV II
Gate, one of a pair removed from Priory House, following its
demolition mid C19. Early C18, re-erected 1964. Wrought-iron
gate with square uprights, scrollwork band, intermediate
spears, and scrollwork semicircular arched head, with
scrollwork and urn fixed side panels, and arched overthrow,
with scrollwork, spearheads, leaves and Greek Cross finial.
HISTORICAL NOTE: Hertford Priory lay on a site south of the
River Lea, and was founded by Ralph de Limesi, one of William
I's knights. After the Dissolution Priory House was erected on
the site in the C17. It was demolished mid C19, and the gates
were reset near Church of All Saints with St John, Queen's
Road (qv). The construction of the Hertford Relief Road,
Gascoyne Way, in 1964, resulted in their removal and resetting
between modern red brick piers, facing each other across the
new dual carriageway highway.
