Description

The Triumphal Arch at West Wycombe Park is a later 18th century park building constructed from knapped flints with ashlar and stucco dressings. It features a tall arch with ashlar imposts, an archivolt, and a keystone. On either side of the arch, there are pairs of attached Roman Doric columns standing on plinths. The entablature projects forward over the columns, and there is a parapet with two pairs of pedestals and a central oblong panel inscribed "Libertati Amici [ue] Sac [rum]". The archway includes patterned stone paving, two arched niches, and painted coffering on the soffit of the arch.
