Description
The entrance gates and lodges at Ledston Hall Lane date from the late 17th century and early 18th century. They are constructed from magnesian limestone ashlar. The gateway features a square-headed opening framed by a rusticated rectangular surround, topped with a cornice that is broken in the center by elongated central voussoirs and a segmental pediment. This pediment is also broken in the center by a pedestal that holds a carved coat of arms. The archway is fitted with wrought-iron double gates, which have a scrolled wrought-iron panel above, displaying Sir John Lewis's cypher in the center.
On either side of the gateway are the piers or pilasters of a former screen, each topped with a scrolled console. Adjacent to these are cubic lodges set diagonally. Each lodge features an impost band that runs around the entire structure, a round-headed doorway on the inner wall, and round-headed windows on the other sides. All windows and doors have glazing bars, moulded architraves, and triple keystones that rise to the frieze of a moulded cornice. The lodges also have a plain parapet with restored urns at the corners.
