Description

Sudeley Castle's North Lodge and wing walls, built in 1886 by J.D. Wyatt for Mrs. Dent, is a lodge gateway featuring ashlar walls and a presumed lead flat roof. The structure is a three-storey gatehouse flanked by quarter octagonal wing walls. From the road, it presents wrought-iron double gates set within a stone archway with a moulded arris and a 4-centred arch. There are plinths on either side, with 2-light mullion and transom windows, and the outer corners of the gatehouse are chamfered. A string course runs above, stepping up over the central gateway. Above the gate, there is a 4-light mullion and transom window in an oriel, flanked by two similar 2-light windows, with a single-light window in the chamfered corners. Another string course steps up over a further single-light transomed window on the sides. The gatehouse features a crenellated parapet at the center, with higher wings also having crenellated parapets and string courses. On each side of the gatehouse, there is a wrought-iron pedestrian door under a 4-centred arch. The design includes a coped wall at the octagonal corner pier, complete with a plinth and pyramid cap, and a coped wall at an angle extending for about 5 meters, stepping down to a further pier and a wall of about 4 meters leading to the pier by the road, with all piers designed similarly.
