Entrance Gates, Piers And Boundary Walls Adjoining South Side Of South Lodge

The entrance gates, piers, and boundary walls adjoining the south side of South Lodge were built around 1857, possibly designed by M.W. or S.S. Teulon, who also designed Gisborough Hall. The structure features dressed sandstone walls and sandstone ashlar piers. The two outer piers have moulded cornice capitals, ball finials, and panelled sides. The boundary or curtain walls, which have a plinth and moulded copings, curve inward from the outer piers to meet matching gate piers that support cast-concrete demi sea-wolves, the crest of the Chaloner Family. There is a pedestrian doorway with a moulded architrave and timber gates on either side of the gate piers. The main double gates are panelled timber with iron fittings, designed in the Jacobean style. The south bay window of South Lodge is integrated into the eastern boundary wall. The listing also includes the high boundary walls that front onto Whitby Road, extending 60 meters to the east and 85 meters to the west, constructed of dressed sandstone with pointed coping.
