Description
The West Lodges and gates to Bowden Park, built around 1800, are a pair of lodges possibly designed by J. Wyatt for B. Dickinson of Bowden Park. These lodges are square in plan and consist of a single room each, constructed from ashlar stone and topped with low-pitched slate pyramid roofs. Each lodge features a raised plinth, an eaves cornice, and 12-pane sash windows at the front and back, along with a door leading onto the driveway. The lodges are flanked by corniced gatepiers topped with urns, which are connected by iron spearhead railings to corniced half-piers adjacent to each lodge. Central spearhead gates provide access, and similar railings extend on either side of the lodges, ending at corniced outer piers also adorned with urns.
