Description
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.
