Gateway Arch At Entrance To Drive South Of Vicarage

The gateway arch at the entrance to the drive south of the Vicarage is a Grade II listed structure. It was originally a gatehouse or forecourt arch and features a comprehensive 19th-century renovation that incorporates and reworks materials likely from the 16th century. The arch is constructed from granite ashlar and has a four-centred granite arch with a very shallow cyma recta moulding on both the arch and the jambs. The spandrels and jambs appear to have been reworked. The arch has an over-sailing parapet that is corbelled out on a chamfered cornice, with continuously moulded coping stones that are raised in the center to create the appearance of battlements. At the rear, there is a rendered segmental arch.
