5/48, 7/48 Pair of Gate Piers and walls extending around Bunny Park
II
Pair of gate piers and walls. Early C18. Designed by and built for Sir Thomas Parkyns of Bunny Hall. Red brick, some blue brick and ashlar. Single pair of red brick gate piers on Wysall Road, each of 2 stages, the lower projecting from the upper with chamfered ashlar dividing band. Each stage with single round arched niche, over those of the top stage are single recessed ashlar panels. Stepped brick leading to ashlar coping with single ashlar pineapple finials. Either side are single ashlar coped brick walls which slope down to meet the wall of about 2 metres high which extends around the Park and is built upon segmental arches. The wall extends from the right pier for about one-quarter of a mile north and then about half a mile west and from the left pier for about one-quarter of a mile south, it then curves round and extends for about a further half a mile west terminating in a single pair of red brick gate piers. The wall is broken in a few places by gateways and damage. On the east side is a single small seated shelter built into the wall. This wall was built to enclose the Park of Bunny Hall. Sir Thomas Parkyns Bart. (c.1662-1741) carried out improvements to and rebuilt almost all of Bunny to his own designs.
