GV II Entrance arch. c.1770. Possibly by Sir William Chambers for Duke of Buccleuch. Ironstone ashlar. Classical style. Semi-circular arch is flanked by tall Tuscan pilasters with pronounced entasis rising to an entablature with a central blank panel and supporting a triangular pediment. Both faces are similar except that the west face has three-quarter-round pilasters and has a deeper overhang to the pediment. The archway formed the principal entrance to the forecourt of Adderbury House (q.v.) and appears to relate to the later work of the Stable Court (q.v.) which may be by Chambers, (Buildings of England: Oxfordshire: pp416-418; VCH: Oxfordshire: Vol IX, pp7-9; Country Life 1949, Vol 105, pp30-32)
