Description
The Gateway to Oatlands Park is a Grade II* listed structure built in the mid-18th century, likely between 1747 and 1749, designed by the architect William Kent and possibly executed by his assistant Stephen Wright. It was relocated to its current position around 1858, during which time two gate lodges were added on either side of the gateway. The gateway is positioned against the porches and the east and west walls of these lodges.
Constructed from rusticated Portland stone ashlar, the gateway features a central gate flanked by pedimented piers and two smaller arched side gates set into a screen wall. It has a two-course plain ashlar plinth and several vermiculated stone courses. The rectangular piers have round-headed niches topped with the coat of arms of the Pelham-Clinton family, which includes greyhounds and shield crests, beneath triangular pediments with ball finials. The round-headed arches on each side are adorned with radiating stone voussoirs and a vermiculated stone coping, also topped by ball finials. The gates are made of wrought and cast iron, featuring gilded spearhead finials and decorative scrollwork.
