Description
This listing describes two entrance lodges, gates, and flanking walls located approximately 300 meters northeast of Purley Hall. The structures date from the 18th century, with 20th-century additions at the rear. The lodges are constructed of red brick featuring banded flint rustication and have a square plan. They are single-storey buildings with a brick string course and battlemented parapets. Each lodge includes a circular window on the north side, adorned with flint keystones and leaded lights, as well as an arched boarded door on the inner face. Between the lodges are two brick piers that support two 19th-century iron gates.
The flanking walls are made of flint with brick dressings, consisting of two walls that are approximately 30 meters long and vary in height, curving forward along the road. There are two tall square brick end piers and lower brick piers at intervals, all featuring banded flint rustication and topped with flint obelisk finials. An archway once existed between the two lodges.
