The main entrance to Derry Ormond Park, the seat of the Jones (Latterly Inglis-Jones) family. The house and grounds were built for John Jones in 1824-1827 to the design of by C. R. Cockerell. The mansion was sold for £3,000 in 1950, and demolished in 1953 and this gate now serves as a rather grand entrance to the handful of labourer's cottages and converted outbuildings which remain. On the right can be seen what was presumably the walled garden.
