Description
The gatehouse to Grimston Garth, built in 1812 by Thomas Earle of Hull, is designed in the Gothick style. It is constructed of grey brick with stone dressings and features a lead roof. The building is two storeys high and has a rectangular plan with octagonal corner turrets. Lower two-storey wings were added to the right and left around 1860.
The central entrance has a pointed arch supported by foliage-decorated imposts and clustered columns. Above the arch is a heraldic shield flanked by blank gunloops. On the first floor, there is a square-headed window with three trefoil lights beneath a hood-mould. The gatehouse includes false machicolations, a moulded string course, and a crenellated parapet. The turrets are divided into four stages by chamfered strings, featuring false machicolations and crenellated parapets. Each turret has lancet windows with hoodmoulds and carved head stops on the second and fourth stages, as well as glazed arrow loops on the first and third stages.
Inside, the principal room above the carriageway contains four pointed doors with Gothick panels, one leading to each turret. This gatehouse serves as the main entrance to the parkland surrounding the grade I listed Grimston Garth.
