Description
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.
