Description
The East Entrance Lodges, Gates, and Flanking Walls were built in 1909 by Sir Henry Tanner. They are designed in the Arts and Crafts Georgian style, featuring pebble-dashed walls with red brick dressings. The lodges are identical, each consisting of one storey and an attic, set on a plinth with rusticated quoins. They have a wooden modillion eaves cornice and a hipped roof with a central panelled stack. The road-facing elevations include a brick projection that rises through the eaves, topped with a leaded segmental pediment. Each lodge has tripartite glazing bar sash windows on both floors, flanked by round windows. There is a flat-roofed dormer and a half-glazed door with a flat hood and sidelights on the inner face.
Wrought iron gates, along with pedestrian gates between the lodges, are hung from brick piers that feature iron lamp standards. The brick quadrant walls extend to the left and right, leading to piers topped with ball finials. These walls curve in panels between the piers, incorporating iron rails, and are terminated after about 50 metres by double piers with ball finials. The panels set in the quadrant walls bear the inscription: Duke of York's Royal Military School.
