Description

Trinity Hall's Gatehouse Building, constructed in 1927, is designed in the Tudor style and built from red brick with stone dressings. It is notable for its entrance gateway, which was relocated here in 1890, with the building constructed around it later. The two gates were originally part of the old Entrance Court, now known as South Court. The archways date from the late 14th century and feature moulded jambs and four-centred heads. The smaller archway includes an original door.
