Description
The West Entrance Lodge gates and walls were built in 1909 by Sir Henry Tanner. They are designed in the Arts and Crafts Georgian style, featuring pebble dash with red brick dressings. The identical gate lodges are single-storey with 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, with round windows on either side. The inner face features a half-glazed door with a flat hood and sidelights. The brick gate piers include an iron lamp standard on the left. The quadrant walls curve out to the piers, which are topped with ball finials, and bear plaques inscribed with "Duke of York's Royal Military School."
