Lodge To Bishop Eton Monastery, And Adjoining Gateway

The lodge and gateway to Bishop Eton Monastery were built in the 1840s and designed by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin. Constructed from stone with a slate roof featuring hexagonal slates, the building is single-storey and has a T-shaped plan. The gable facing the road includes a three-light window with lattice glazing, although the lower parts have been boarded since 1984. Above this window is a round section with a quatrefoil design. To the right, there is a niche with a bowl set into the wall. The left side features another three-light window and a dormer with a segmental head and gabled roof. At the rear, there is a gable with an end stack on the right and a two-light window on the left. The gateway is marked by a segmental-pointed archway, flanked by weathered and gabled buttresses. Above the archway, there is a niche containing a statue of Bishop Eton, with mitred shields on either side inscribed with "B" and "S". To the right of the archway, there is a pointed arch with a studded door. The weathered coping above the niche is raised and features a cross.
