Walls On Bridge And Tunnel Entries About 120 Metres North West Of Dodington House

The walls on the bridge and tunnel entries, located about 20 metres northwest of the Lodge and approximately 120 metres northwest of Dodington House, date from the early 19th century. They are constructed from coursed limestone rubble with sandstone dressings and brick elements. The top of the bridge features limestone rubble walls that are about 8 metres long and 1 metre high, with a central section to the north built up above the coping in rubble, also topped with sandstone coping.

The north tunnel entry is flanked by walls that are about 3 metres long and 5 metres high, featuring a string course and rusticated coping. The round-arched tunnel entry has flanking pilasters made of rusticated sandstone, with a rusticated string course running across the pilasters and the head of the tunnel. Above this, there is a rectangular recess that displays a carved coat of arms of the Codrington family at its center, with rusticated coping above.

The south tunnel entry has similar flanking walls, though they are only about 1.5 metres long. It features a segmental-headed opening at the base to the left, with limestone quarter basins set on rusticated sandstone plinths in the corners to the right and left. This entry also has similar pilasters and a large rusticated keystone at the top. The coat of arms is again centrally placed at the top of the parapet wall, which breaks through the coping. These walls are part of a planned route around Dodington Park, supporting the western approach road to Dodington House.
