Description
The Triumphal Arch at Higher Lodge is an entrance gateway built around 1790 to commemorate the visit of King George III. Constructed from granite ashlar, the arch features a carriage arch flanked by walls, each with a doorway and a terminal pier. The archway has piers set on moulded plinths, topped with a round arch that has a keyed head and a cornice above. Moulded granite volutes adorn the flanking walls on either side of the arch. The doorways are fitted with combined roll and hollow moulded architraves, which are blocked with cast iron railings. At the top of the wall is a blocking course, and the terminal piers are capped with ball finials. The gates to the carriage arch are 19th-century replacements made of cast iron, featuring spike finials and scrolled decoration on the horizontal members. The design is similar to the piers at the entrance to Lower Lodge.
