Description
West Lodge and gates, along with the gate piers, connecting wall, railings, and outer piers immediately to the west, were built between 1868 and 1874, likely designed by F S Brodrick of Hull. The lodge is constructed from polychrome brick with stone dressings and features a Welsh slate roof. It has an L-shaped plan with a tower positioned at the angle. The building is single-storey with two attic windows: one in the tower on the left and another in the gable end on the right. The ground floor of the tower has a studded six-panel door set in an arched porch, which is supported by angle buttresses. The lodge has leaded lights throughout, a single-light casement window on the left, and a canted bay window on the gable end of the left wing. The right wing features a canted bay window on its gable wall. In the attic, there is a single-light casement window on the right and a two-light casement window on the left, both beneath ashlar lintels and pointed polychrome arches with decorative tympana. The gable end has coping and shaped kneelers, a stepped eaves course, and a pyramidal roof on the tower, with stacks rising through the roof pitch. The gates are made of wrought iron, flanked by ashlar piers and a brick wall. The gates include dogbars and fleur-de-lys finials on the standards. The square-section piers are approximately three metres tall and feature reliefs of crosses and fleur-de-lys on the shafts, along with moulded capitals and decorative finials inscribed with "Corona Mea Christus." The curved, coped connecting wall, about one metre high, ends in piers that match the gate piers. This structure is included for its group value with Yokefleet Hall.
