Description
The Gateway to The Green is an 18th-century structure that originally served as the entrance to Wonersh Park, which was a mansion built in the 17th and 18th centuries and demolished in 1935. The gateway is constructed from brown and blue brick, with its roof obscured. It features block rusticated and rebated angles, along with a stone-coped and battlemented parapet.
At the center, there is a two-step chamfered arched carriageway that has a stone hood mould above, which continues as a stringcourse to the left. Above this is another stone string course. The flanking walls, which are stone-coped, are canted to the right and stand approximately 8 feet high next to the gate, tapering down to three feet at the ends. To the left of the carriageway, there is a plank door set beneath a blue brick arch. The main carriageway is cobbled.
Inside the archway, there is a sculpted artificial stone frieze designed by Beatrice E. Cook and sculpted by John Harran, both from Wonersh. This frieze, created between 1952 and 1953, commemorates the contributions of the civilians of Wonersh during the Second World War, when The Green was given to the village.
