Archway Approximately 160 Metres West South West Of County Hall

The archway, located approximately 160 metres west-southwest of County Hall in Norwich, is a garden building dating from around 1800. It was originally part of Bracondale Lodge, which was demolished in the 1960s. The archway incorporates late 12th century and 14th century carved stone mouldings of ecclesiastical origin. It is believed to have been designed either by William Wilkins, the architect of Bracondale Lodge, or by Humphry Repton, who was responsible for the landscape design. The structure is built from flint and brick, with ashlar dressings and an ashlar facade on the eastern side. It features a two-centred archway topped with a pediment, a roll-moulded archway, and a 14th century octofoil opening in the tympanum above. The archway also has moulded cornices and an inscription with the letters M.C.I. in the tympanum.
