Description
The lodges and gateway located about 1,050 metres northwest of Thame Park were built around 1830, with some 20th-century additions. The gateway screen is made of rendered red brick with freestone dressings and features a wall with seven bays. The central bay is taller and has a large 4-centred carriage arch, while the fourth bay contains a smaller pedestrian gateway. Both arches are double-chamfered and are fitted with cast-iron Gothic gates. The design is in the castellated Gothick style, characterized by battlements on the end piers and the taller central bay, as well as buttresses between the bays that support block finials adorned with quatrefoils and cruciform false loops on the carriage arch piers. The large buttresses on the inner sides of these piers are 20th-century additions made of concrete blocks over steel shores. Attached to either side of the gateway are two lodges, which are in a ruinous state and may be later constructions, also made of rendered brick. The southern lodge features a four-panel door with a studded planted chamfer on the panels.
