St Augustine'S Gatehouse

St. Augustine's Gatehouse is a gatehouse for a church and school, built around 1874 by G. F. Bodley for Edward Stanley Heywood. It is constructed of brick with stone dressings and features a clay tile roof. The building has two bays and two storeys, with a small wing at the rear, and is designed in a Free Gothic style. The brickwork is accented with striated ashlar bands. There is an arched entrance on the left, with a hoodmould that interrupts a continuous hoodmould above. The ground floor has two windows with three-light casements and brick relieving arches, while the first floor has one similar window. Above the entrance, there is an elaborate surround featuring a coat of arms. The gatehouse has coped gables with kneelers and a bold projecting chimneystack on the right. The three-light double-chamfered mullion windows on the left and rear have had their mullions removed, and other single-light windows are transomed with cusped heads.
