Description
The gateway to St Michael's Mount, built in 1885, serves as the entrance to the site. It features dressed granite brought to course with granite dressings. The design includes a large central doorway flanked by integral screen walls, with a smaller doorway in the right-hand screen wall. To the east, there is an adjoining cemetery wall, and to the right, a lodge. The gateway is designed in the Tudor Gothic style, characterized by four-centred arched doorways with hoodmoulds. The central carriage doorway has a double-chamfered arch over moulded jambs. Above the doorway, the coped wall is crow-stepped, and the St Aubyn Arms is positioned over the middle of the doorway. Weathered buttresses flank the doorway, and the framed doors retain their original ironwork.
