East Lodge and gate screen (Shawdon Hall)

The East Lodge and gate screen are likely to date from 1858 and were designed by John Dobson. The lodge and screen form part of the Shawdon Hall estate.

The gate screen consists of square gatepiers which have tall plinths, scroll-topped jambs, moulded capitals and square urn finials. These support renewed wrought-iron double gates. Flanking sections of screen wall run either side of the gates, each with a three-bay arcade of round arches, keystones, impost bands, and plinths. The screen has a moulded coping. On the left, an end pier with a moulded flat top is attached to a lower wall with pitched coping, which terminates in a pilaster. To the right is the end of the lodge, featuring a pedimented gable, pilasters, and a twelve-pane sash window set within a keyed architrave.

The left return of the lodge, facing the drive, is two bays wide and one storey high and has a tall plinth, end pilasters, and eaves cornice. A central porch has a renewed door under a keyed archivolt with an impost band. Twelve-pane sash windows are set in keyed architraves. The gables are coped, and a central stack features a stepped-and-corniced design with a tripartite shaft. A similar window is visible in the rear gable end of the lodge.

A later extension to the rear right of the lodge is not considered to be of particular architectural interest.
