Description
WADDINGTON WEST BRADFORD ROAD
SD 74 SW
10/124 Waddington Hospital Gateway (formerly listed as The Entrance Gate to the grounds of the Widows' Hospital) 16.11.1954 GV II
Gateway, assumed to be 1700 (Pevsner), but probably mid-to-late C18th. Sandstone ashlar. A moulded open pediment is supported on projecting quoins. Placed centrally is a doorway with chamfered rustication to the jambs and a flat lintel incised with false voussoirs and with a projecting false keystone. Above is a plaque with bolection moulded border: '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 Cl9th. Buck's drawing of c.1720 shows a gateway with segmental arch and ball finial and records an inscription in latin over the gates. Samuel Buck's Yorkshire Sketchbook, reproduced in facsimile, Wakefield, 1979.
