Restoration of the double entrance gates at Mapperton House, Dorset

Restoration of Maperton House gates

We have just started restoration work on these stunning entrance gates from Maperton house near Wincanton and couldn’t resist blogging a picture of them.  They have just come back from being carefully stripped and are gracing the Ironart workshops. The gates are historic and intriguing, they are entirely traditionally made, and feature monograms and lots of fascinating joins and features.

These magnificent gates are just one aspect of a large restoration project.  Ironart also recently fitted some support trusses to an historic orangery at Maperton House. We promise there will be more pictures to follow as this project takes shape.
