Entrance Walls And Pavilions To Millmead House

The entrance walls and pavilions to Millmead House were built between 1904 and 1907 by Sir Edwin Lutyens for Gertrude Jekyll. They are constructed from sandstone rubble and blocks set on brick plinths, topped with tile coping. The central gateway features brick quoins and an arched entrance, which is adorned with a brick and tile-on-edge panel that rises from impost bands, along with a ribbed and studded gate. At each end of the entrance wall, there are two garden pavilions that have steeply pitched roofs, with sandstone blocks and brick dressings, as well as tile-hung gable ends. The pavilions include small leaded casement windows on their ends and round arched entrances facing the garden.
