Common and principal finials were copied from a small fragment of railings surviving in a nearby village. The design of the pylons, supporting the gates, and their finials was developed and a pattern was manufactured for approval (see red photograph) before the components were cast by a foundry.

Whilst the railings appear to be straightforward, the reconstruction was in fact complicated by the fall in ground levels thus the uprights are vertical but the rails and plinth wall fall from one end to the other; this isn't immediately visible but the two sets of gates vary in height beneath the 'dog' rail.

The tarmac drive was repaired and resurfaced using bound gravel with brick edgings.

The photographs illustrate the project before, during and after construction.
