History
The main entrance to Bodrhyddan Hall was formerly in the centre of the S range, but the orientation of the house was changed with the addition of Nesfield's west entrance front, and a formal garden was laid out on the former drive to the S. The gatepiers of the earlier entrance were incorporated in a boundary wall. They are almost certainly late C17.
Exterior
Panelled ashlar piers with moulded caps carrying heraldic blackamoors' busts. The two piers are linked by cast-iron spear-head railings on a low rubble plinth wall.
Interior
Reason for designation
A significant component of the late C17 layout of Bodrhyddan.
