Description
The gatehouse and walls at Hinchingbrooke House date from the 16th century and earlier. The stone walls flank the main entrance gate, while the gatehouse itself was constructed around 1500 and was brought to the site by the Cromwells from Ramsey Abbey. It features a central carriage arch with pedestrian arches on either side, although the right-hand arch is modern. The main arch is adorned with traceried spandrels and a quatrefoil frieze, which is flanked by figures of wild men. The structure has a battlemented parapet, and this decorative pattern is also repeated on the internal face. High rubble walls stand on either side of the gatehouse.
