Description: | Crest in brickwork above entrance gateway. It has ornate wrought iron gates incorporating two shields with the initials JTN intertwined, for John Thomas North, the builder and owner of Avery Hill Mansion. The crest has a shield with two chevrons across the centre and three stars, two above and one below. On top of the crest is a helmet and above this, an animal head facing left, possibly a lion. Around it are scrolls and leaves, and at the bottom, a scroll with the motto, ANIMO ET FIDE, incised. The crest is moulded in the same brick as the rest of the arch.
