Description
Temple Bar is a red brick archway and lodge to Edwardstone Hall, built in 1840. It is named after the original Temple Bar, which it is said to have been modeled on. The gateway features a four-centred arch and an octagonal tower with a castellated parapet on the north side. It includes casement windows with Tudor arched top lights and brick hood moulds. A moulded brick band runs across the front between the storeys.
