Description

The main north gates to Lord Wandsworth College were built between 1914 and 1915, designed by Reginald Blomfield.

These grand gates are styled in an impressive Edwardian Baroque manner and face the White Hill road to the north. The structure features three decorative iron gates, including a central carriage entrance flanked by two pedestrian entrances. These entrances are framed by substantial brick gate piers topped with stone urns. From the gate piers, a stone-capped brick arch rises, adorned with a festooned central cartouche that displays Lord Wandsworth’s heraldic shield. The symmetrically arranged flanking walls curve around to the road, creating a broad approach to the gates. The stone-capped walls gradually decrease in height and end with brick piers, which are also capped with stone urns.
