Description

The pair of lodges at the southern entrance to Gisburne Park, believed to have been built around 1800, are constructed from sandstone ashlar and topped with slate roofs. Designed in a Gothick style, these mirrored lodges each stand two storeys tall but have facades that appear as a single storey. The south gable walls are flanked by pilasters, each featuring two sinkings adorned with attached shafts and crocketed gablets in relief.

The gables and side parapets are crowned with closely spaced pinnacles, which vary in decoration. Each south elevation includes a central window with three lancet lights beneath a moulded pointed head, with clustered shafts serving as mullions and reveals. Above this window is a crocketed gablet in relief, complete with a finial and enclosing a niche that holds a statue. The north gable walls are similarly designed.

The walls facing the drive feature blank arcades consisting of three pointed arches that spring from pilasters, along with a hollow-moulded frieze displaying intersecting arcades beneath a cornice. The entrance doors, located towards the front of each lodge, are decorated with tracery and have Tudor-arched heads, set within a blank opening that features a trefoiled head.

Each lodge is flanked by a pair of square plan piers topped with crocketed pinnacles, which are connected to the lodges by iron railings. These railings extend to a central pair of gate piers, which also have sunken lancet panels, cornices, and pinnacles.
