Description
Waddington Hospital Gateway is a gateway that is assumed to date from 1700, although it is probably from the mid-to-late 18th century. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar. The gateway features a moulded open pediment supported by projecting quoins. Centrally located is a doorway with chamfered rustication on the jambs and a flat lintel that has incised false voussoirs and a projecting false keystone. Above the doorway is a plaque with a bolection moulded border that reads: 'This Hospital was built and endow'd in the year 1700 by Robert Parker of Marley Hall in the County of York Second Son of Edward Parker of Browsholme Esq. for the Reception of poor Widows, To be chosen According to the Deed of Endowment'. The hospital itself was rebuilt in the late 19th century. A drawing by Samuel Buck from around 1720 shows a gateway with a segmental arch and ball finial, and it records an inscription in Latin over the gates. This drawing is reproduced in facsimile in the Yorkshire Sketchbook published in Wakefield in 1979.
