Description
The ornamental archway, located approximately 350 meters south of Stoke Rochford Hall, was built in 1676 and altered in 1704. It was later reduced in the 19th century to serve as an ornament in Stoke Rochford Park for Sir Christopher Turnor. The structure is made of ashlar stone with coursed limestone rubble side walls. It features a plinth, rusticated quoins, and a segmental pediment. The central archway is round-headed and rusticated, complete with a key block, and is flanked by panelled Doric pilasters. The bases of the pilasters have blank semi-circular headed niches with key and impost blocks and cornices. Above the arch, a rectangular panel displays the date 1704, and below it is a Latin inscription commemorating the death of Sir Edmund Turnor. Above the dentillated cornice is a keyed oculus, with rusticated panels slightly advanced on either side. The archway is believed to be situated on the site of the stable block of the former house. The side walls include chamfered rectangular doorways.
