Description
The gateway arch, located approximately 10 meters east-north-east of the Manor House Hotel, was built in 1907 by Detmar Blow for Viscount Hambledon. It features snecked dressed granite blocks with Bath stone dressings. The lodges on either side of the arch have clay tile pyramidal roofs topped with ball apex finials.
The design includes a central carriageway arch flanked by diagonally set square lodges, each with an outer wall. The carriageway arch is made of segmental voussoir stone and has studded and panelled doors. Above the arch, there are two octagonal chimneys, and a central raised plaque displays a heraldic shield along with the date 1907.
Each lodge is identical, consisting of one room on the ground floor and one on the first floor, which is accessed by external stone steps located opposite the archway. There are stone four-centred arched doorways at both the top and bottom of the steps, and each lodge features a two-light stone mullion window on both floors next to the archway. An octagonal stone chimney rises from the flanking wall of each lodge at the top of the external steps.
