A pair of tall square piers with stone plinth bases and moulded stone plinth caps. Stone corniced caps are surmounted by stone vases with carved swags, flowers and fruit. The east and west faces have arched niches above the plinths with stone strings at impost level, stone keys and stone shells in the arches, and moulded stone panels above the niches. The north and south faces have brick pilasters for gate hanging, walls or railings, capped by stone moulded cornices and scrolls. The northern pier now attached to a low wall. These were the gate piers to the former Manor House built for the Earl of Craven by Sir Balthazar Gerbier and William Wynne which burnt down in 1718.
