I thought these stones were mainly above doors on houses but there seem to be some good examples on gateposts. This one is dated 1820, Brilliant.
I recently came upon a fascinating 'micro-forest' on top of a gatepost.
These little fungi are just about 15mm tall.

A visit to The Laskett Gardens. Was a listening device to hear the thoughts of the original gardener who lived here, Sir Roy Strong. And created with his late wife Julia Trevelyan Oman.
The Laskett Gardens, near Much Birch, Herefordshire, England, were created by Sir Roy Strong and Julia Trevelyan Oman. The couple purchased and moved to the rural property in 1973 and, over the next thirty years, built the garden from scratch.
In 2015 Strong announced that he would bequeath the property to the Gardeners' Royal Benevolent Society (Perennial). Perennial accepted the gift in 2021.
Howdah Court
Named after the viewing gallery which straddles a mound of turf and from which views can be had both of the countryside beyond and of the garden below with its knot garden of yew & dwarf euonymous flanked by symmetrical planting of malus floribunda and two fountains.
House
The house was built about 1835 and purchased by Sir Roy and his late wife in 1973.
Over the decades it has been considerably enlarged and, from 2003 on, embellished with pilasters and plaques to provide character to an otherwise anonymous building.
Entrance gatepost statues with the initials RS (Roy Strong) and JTO (Julia Trevelyan Oman).
Colonial era gatepost. The locals describe the building behind as a "bungalow" but it has more of the air an official building.
"St Nicholas' Church, the original parish church, dates back to the 14th century but the current building is 17th century. The entrance to the churchyard features a set of skull-and-bones on top of the posts. A plaque on the north wall commemorates playwright Christopher Marlowe, who was murdered in a nearby house, and buried in an unmarked grave in the churchyard on 1 June 1593."

Fan-bearing Wood-borer beetle (Ptilinus pectinicornis) found on a gatepost at the edge of Miltonrigg Wood, near Brampton, 6 July 19.
This species is apparently common in the southern half of the UK, but elsewhere there appear to be relatively few sightings; in fact of the 784 records currently shown on NBN Atlas, only two are to the north of Newcastle! As previously noted Cumbrian data are no longer included in the Atlas, but presumably this species is not widespread within the county. Either way, it's certainly the first one I've seen!
Photo 1 was taken in situ with my bridge camera, and Photo 2 using the integral camera on my SX10D microscope at 20x magnification. It was measured at 4.5mm in length.
A stunning image of the species can be found here:

Foot with a face, smoking a cigarette supporting a plant-pot on the truncated ankle... "Decoration" on a gatepost in Eastbourne.
The Belmont Building (1912) is significant as a gatepost to Victoria's commercial core. The commercial facade of this prominent landmark sets the scene for the Inner Harbour entrance to Government Street.
This office building is notable as an example of technologically advanced construction; it was the first large-scale building in Victoria to comply with new stringent fire codes through the use of reinforced concrete. Architects Horton and Phillips, influenced by the Chicago School of architecture, utilized internal frame construction combined with restrained Edwardian details such as terra cotta cladding, a corner articulation, and walls of slightly recessed windows to accentuate the building's height. The defined verticality of this retail and office structure contributes significantly to the backdrop of historic structures at the northeast corner of the Inner Harbour Precinct.
