Description
Stone Gate Lodge is a lodge located at the entrance to Great Western Avenue of Old Fonthill Abbey, built in 1860 for the Marquess of Westminster. The lodge is constructed of English bond red brick with yellow brick banded decoration and dressings, featuring a gabled tiled roof and diagonally-set brick stacks. It has a cross plan with gabled wings, is single storey with an attic, and has one window in each wing.
The lodge includes a gabled timber and brick porch with a planked door situated in the angle between the two wings. The right wing features a 3-light canted bay with casement windows on the ground floor, and above it is a carved stone tablet displaying heraldic arms and the date. The left wing has a small 2-light bay with a blocked arrow loop above it, and the left return includes lean-to extensions and a polygonal projecting bread oven topped with a tiled roof. There is also a gabled dormer in the attic. The roof has deep eaves and gables with moulded barge boards.
The interior has not been inspected. Stone Gate Lodge is one of a pair of lodges for Fonthill Abbey Wood, the other being West Gate Lodge. It was likely built on or near the site of William Beckford's main entrance to Old Fonthill Abbey.
