Archway Approximately One Metre To South East Of Brand Hall

The archway, dating from around 1700, is located approximately one metre southeast of Brand Hall. It is constructed of red brick with grey sandstone ashlar dressings. The structure features piers with plinths, chamfered quoins, and impost bands supporting an elliptical arch, topped with an open triangular pediment. This archway is one of a pair that flanks the front of Brand Hall and marks the line of the carriageway in front of the house. It may have originally been part of a larger forecourt arrangement. Prior to the early 19th century additions to Brand Hall, the archways would have appeared more detached from the main building, potentially connected by quadrant link walls. Historical records indicate that the arches once housed ornamental iron gates, which were largely hidden by climbing plants during a survey in July 1986.
