Gateway To Kitchen Garden, About 22 Metres East Of North East Corner Of Stanway House And About 2M Of Adjoining Wall Each Side

The gateway to the kitchen garden, located about 22 meters east of the northeast corner of Stanway House and flanked by approximately 2 meters of adjoining wall on each side, dates from around 1860 and is likely designed by W. Burn. It features a combination of ashlar and rubble masonry. The gateway is set within a garden wall and includes a boarded door framed by a 4-centred arch, which has a double-ovolo moulding along the edges and low-relief carving in the spandrels. The door is flanked by plain Roman Doric pilasters that are slightly set back, with a plain frieze and a pediment that includes a shell and low-relief carving. On either side of the gateway, there are short sections of ashlar wall with plain coping, which is slightly lower than the pediment. Beyond these walls, there is a slightly thinner rubble wall that slopes downwards, leading to a lower level. This gateway forms a group with Stanway House and the Pyramid.
