Gateway Lodge, Gates And Associated Railings At South Entrance To Brogyntyn Park

Gateway Lodge, gates, and associated railings are located at the south entrance to Brogyntyn Park. Designed by Benjamin Gummow in 1815, the structure features sandstone ashlar and ashlar-faced red brick. The main feature is a large round-headed Triumphal archway, which is flanked by lower square projections that once served as accommodation for the lodge-keeper. These are surrounded by wrought-iron railings on low quadrant walls, leading to subsidiary entrances on either side, all in the Greek Revival style.

The gateway has a moulded round arch with a scrolled keystone and a moulded entablature topped with a dentilled cornice. There are additional moulded cornices at the impost level, supported by two Ionic columns. The flanking projections also feature moulded cornices and string courses, with round-arched recesses at the front and rear that were originally fitted with sash windows but are now infilled. Access to these projections is through six-panel doors located in round-arched side recesses beneath the archway.

The ornamental wrought-iron gates at the center have two tiers of spear-shaped finials and standards capped with urns, a motif that is also reflected in the railings on either side, although the left side is now missing. The subsidiary entrances on both sides have plain moulded entablatures and wrought-iron gates. The area beneath the main archway is paved and includes spur stones.

Brogyntyn Hall is not included in this listing.
