Description
Entrance gateway, built c.1830, to Presentation Convent. Screen wall of pecked ashlar limestone having plinths, string course and English crenellations. Segmental carriage arch to centre flanked by elliptical-headed pedestrian openings, with wrought-iron gate to carriage arch and timber battened doors to pedestrian openings.
Appraisal
The entrance screen to the Presentation Convent has medieval-style detailing, in contrast to the convent itself which is classical in appearance. It exhibits good-quality stonework and has its original gates and doors.
