Details of the wrought iron main gates to the main drive. Each gate is 10 feet high and six feet wide and is surmounted by the cross-bar containing the embellishments the centre one being the 'S' of the Saville family. The cross bar is angular and the top bar of the gates fit into it when they are in the closed position. They are kept permanently closed and locked today. In the background is the Abbey's main entrance (see photo No.21a)
