Description

The Triumphal Arch at Garendon Park, built in the 1730s by Ambrose Phillipps of Garendon, is a Grade I listed structure. Constructed of ashlar, it features a moulded round-headed carriage arch with an octagonal coffered soffit made of stucco on brick. The east front is adorned with four Corinthian columns on tall pedestals that support an elaborate entablature. Above this, the attic is topped with a cornice and displays a notable relief depicting the Metamorphosis of Actaeon. On the west side, there are two Corinthian columns on pedestals with a pediment above the entablature, also crowned by a cornice. The keystone of the arch is designed in the shape of a head. Inside the arch, there are small rooms. This structure is based on the Arch of Titus in Rome and is considered one of the earliest examples in England of a building directly inspired by Ancient Roman architecture.
