in 2008 the new owners restored the gates, setting the quatrefoil ironwork in a new wooden frame, which like the gatepost, follows the original design while the fleur-de-lys spikes have been renewed and regilded. The wooden, and very worn, pelicans in their piety, from the Boileau coat-of-arms, which had been stored in the house have been returned to the top of the gateposts. The iron work has been replaced with care, and still shows signs of rust. The gates and their lodge stand at a now disused entrance to Ketteringham Hall from the Norwich Road. The wooden frame is filled with twenty-one squares of iron on a quatrefoil pattern, based on the fifteenth-century Arundel rood screen housed in Chichester Cathedral until 1860. The wooden gateposts are capped with a pseudo-Doric capital, and now with pelicans in their piety, which also cap the gateposts to another entrance to the house at Ivyhouse Farm on the Street.
