Newton Lodge (Entrance To Beningbrough Park)

Newton Lodge, located at the entrance to Beningbrough Park, is an entrance archway with gates, lodges, and a flanking wall, dating from the late 18th century, with the gates added in the mid-19th century. It is possibly designed by James Wyatt for Margaret and Gilbert Bourchier. The structure is built of ashlar and features cast-iron railings.

The archway has a round-headed design with a pediment, flanked by lower, single-storey lodges that each have one 12-pane sash window and 6-panel doors on the inner sides. The archway's surround projects forward, with a plinth and an impost band that continues as a cornice to the lodges. It features an archivolt with a keystone and sunken flowers in the spandrels, along with a corniced pediment adorned with a laurel wreath in the tympanum.

The gates are ramped and include spear-headed finials on the bars, arrow finials and pendants on the dog bars, and circular designs on the bottom dog bar and top rails. The lodges have angle pilasters and a continuous plinth, cornice, and blocking course. The low coped flanking walls are topped with taller plain piers that have capstones at each end, supporting railings with spear-headed finials. The design and dimensions of the archway are identical to those at the entrance to Thirkleby Hall, near Thirsk, which was built around 1780.
