Gateway Approximately 25 Metres North Of Tower Of Church Of St Giles

The gateway, located approximately 25 meters north of the tower of the Church of St. Giles in Chesterton, is a significant structure likely built in the 1630s for Sir Edward Peyto. It is constructed of English bond red brick with moulded, cut, and rubbed brick, showcasing a classical style. The gateway features a round arch with a keyblock, pilasters, an entablature, and a pediment. Both the pilasters and the arch exhibit intermittent rustication. This gateway is believed to have been built around the same time as Chesterton Windmill and is a close copy, at about three-quarters scale, of one of the churchyard gateways flanking Inigo Jones' St. Paul, Covent Garden, from 1631, as referenced in Vitruvius Britannicus. The gateway is a notable remnant of Chesterton House, which was demolished in 1802.
