Description
The Gothick Archway is a lodge and entrance archway built in the early 19th century by Sir Sitwell Sitwell. It is made of ashlar coal measures sandstone and features a two-storey design. The structure has square angle piers that support a chamfered pointed arch, which rises to a cornice adorned with finials and a central crenellated pediment that includes moulded merlons. This pediment also displays the Sitwell family arms.
On either side of the archway are single-storey pavilions that feature two-light Gothic windows with four-centred arched heads, each topped with hoodmoulds that have dropped returns. The corner piers are panelled and topped with pinnacles, and the archway has a cornice and a crenellated parapet.
Inside the archway, there is a pair of cast iron carriage gates that showcase delicate Gothic details. Although the archway is now in a ruinous state, it once served as the lodge for the approach drive to Renishaw.
