Description

The archway and lodge with screen wall at Midford Castle, built around 1810, are designed in a Gothic style. Constructed from ashlar stone, the buildings feature slate roofs that are hidden behind embattled parapets. The central archway is chamfered and has a four-centred shape, adorned with quatrefoils, and is flanked by octagonal turrets. To the left of the archway is the lodge, which is a single storey with a basement. It includes a square turret at the front and corner buttresses with offsets, as well as two-light casement windows that have four-centred heads and dripmoulds underneath. The quadrant screen wall to the right also ends in a square turret and has a blocked pointed doorway within a moulded surround.
