Gates,Lodges And Screen Wall At South-East Entrance To Brocket Hall

The gates, lodges, and screen wall at the south-east entrance to Brocket Hall were built around 1765 by James Paine for Sir Mathew Lamb. There are two lodges located on either side of the entrance, constructed from red brick with stone dressings and topped with a slate roof. The lodges are two storeys high, featuring slightly projecting pedimented bays that face the road. Both the ground and first floors have sash windows, with the upper windows having segmental heads set in relieving arches. There are stone sill bands and a wooden modillioned eaves cornice. Each side of the lodges has semicircular openings with cast iron screens and single gates. The terminal piers of the walling include sill bands and paterae, with the central pair featuring wrought iron lamp holders. The double gates are plain, with curved bars that echo the semicircle motif.
