Purpose
Design for the Foulby Gates gateway, c1776, executed with alterations (1)
Notes
The gates at the Foulby entrance to the park were executed in accordance with this design. The piers originally had engaged Doric columns on each side, with ironwork gates in between, and surmounted by sculpted sphinxes rather than urns. The sphinxes were lost at an unknown date, and the piers and gates were dismantled in 1984.
There is a finished drawing duplicate of this design within the private collection of Lord St Oswald.
