Description
KEYNSHAM
ST6568 STATION ROAD 739-1/4/55 (South side) 19/06/75 Archway on street at the entrance to Park House (Park House not included)
II*
Archway. Late C12, C13 and C17 fragments reconstructed in mid C19. Limestone ashlar and dressed stone. The archway has a triangular pediment over an elliptical carriage arch. The arch has a moulded architrave and keystone carved in the form of a shield; flanking pilasters with unusual rounded rustication and bolection moulding over. The pediment has a weathered cartouche. The jambs and inner side of the archway incorporate many fragments (capitals, arch mouldings, bases and interlace) of late C12 and C13 masonry from Keynsham Abbey (qv). HISTORICAL NOTE: these stone fragments came from a house which the Bridges family built on the site of the medieval abbey (pulled down in 1776); they are of great importance as evidence for the design of the Abbey.
