Four Lane Ends Lodge And Gateway

Four Lane Ends Lodge and Gateway is an estate entrance gateway and lodge built around 1760, likely designed by James Paine for the Earl of Scarbrough. The structure is made of ashlar magnesian limestone, with the lodge featuring a Westmorland slate roof and wrought-iron gates. The T-shaped lodge has an attached wing wall on the right that curves to connect with large gate piers supporting double gates. To the right of the gate is a convex wing wall with an end pier.

The lodge is a single-storey building with one bay on each side facing the road. It has a sill band and casements with glazing bars set in round-arched openings. The cross-wing that projects on the left has a panelled door in its short right return. There is an eaves band along the hipped roof, which has a tabled end stack on the right and a similar stack at the junction of the T-shape. A later outshut on the left return has a pantile roof.

The gate piers each feature a plinth and a rusticated shaft with a band beneath a block adorned with paterae. They have a pedimented cornice topped with a ribbed cup and a pineapple finial. The gates consist of square-section bars connected by three low rails, with two curved upper rails—one lower rail decorated with scrolls and the upper rail featuring arrowhead finials. The matching side panels also have urn and arrowhead finials. The wing walls have plinths and plain copings, with the wall on the right terminating at a projecting wallstone pier.
