Hanging gates take 2
I was waiting for the painters to finish these magnificent wrought iron gates and eventually they are done.
The story goes that in the early 18th century, not long after it was built, a judge who lived at Nether Lypiatt sentenced a blacksmith to death for some petty theft. He then told the man that his sentence might be commuted if he made a pair of wrought-iron gates to stand in front of the house. When they were finished the judge claimed that one of the scroll forms faced the wrong way, and so he hanged the unfortunate man from his own gates. The blacksmith's ghost is said still to haunt the house of his executioner.
