Gateway To East Lodge, Amport House

The gateway to East Lodge at Amport House was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1923. It features two piers made of Portland stone that enclose wrought-iron gates. The piers have a square plan and display a simplified classical style. Each pier is topped with a ball finial that merges with corner supports above a simple moulded cornice. The piers include a small upper panel, a plain band, and a plain niche in the lower section. The base of each pier consists of a wide slab with a concave underside. Flanking each side of the piers are short lengths of boundary wall capped with plain Portland stone above rough Bath stone ashlar. The wrought-iron gates exhibit Georgian design elements, including side pilasters and ornamental capping.
