Description
The lodge and gates to Prestwold Hall are two identical single-storey structures built around 1820 to 1840. They are made of rendered brick with stone dressings. Each lodge features a four-columned arcade in front of the doorway, with fluted Doric columns and angle pilasters on the road front. A triglyph frieze forms a parapet above a small hipped roof, which has a central ashlar stack. The doors and sash windows are adorned with stone architraves. The alignment of the lodges is slightly off from the drive, enhancing the perspective along it. Curved flanking walls, also rendered, end in piers topped with ball finials. The wrought iron gates consist of a principal pair flanked by two pedestrian gates, all featuring spearhead decoration. The gate piers are made of cast iron trellis-work and also have ball finials. One of the lodges is dated 1821. While their style connects them to the work of Burn on the main house, they may predate this and could possibly be the work of Wilkins, who was involved in alterations around 1805.
