Wall And Gate Lodge East Of Minster Abbey

The Wall and Gate Lodge east of Minster Abbey is an early 19th-century structure. It features a gate lodge made of knapped and squared flints with a plain tiled roof. The wall surrounding it is also constructed of flint. The lodge has a single-storey entrance front, which includes a string course and box eaves beneath a half-hipped roof with gablets. On either side of the central Gothick panelled door are diamond latticed Gothick windows. The left side of the lodge, facing the road, is two storeys high, with a string course and two wooden casements on the first floor, along with two arched sash windows on the ground floor. There is an irregular two-storey extension on the left. The wall rises to about 8 to 10 feet in height and extends approximately 70 yards along the roadside to the south and west.
