Description
The entrance arch, located approximately 60 meters west of Adderbury House, dates from around 1770 and is possibly designed by Sir William Chambers for the Duke of Buccleuch. Constructed from ironstone ashlar, the arch is in a classical style. It features a semi-circular arch flanked by tall Tuscan pilasters that have a noticeable curve, rising to an entablature with a central blank panel and topped by a triangular pediment. Both sides of the arch are similar, but the west face includes three-quarter-round pilasters and has a deeper overhang on the pediment. This archway served as the main entrance to the forecourt of Adderbury House and is thought to relate to later work on the Stable Court, which may also be attributed to Chambers.
