Gateway To Hartforth Hall

The Gateway to Hartforth Hall is a 15th-century gatehouse located in Gilling with Hartforth. It is constructed of rubble with dressed stone. The gatehouse features a four-centred arch made up of two orders, which has remains of a label, chamfered responds, and moulded caps, spanning the current drive to the house. Above the arch, there is a shouldered single-light window. Low walls flank the carriageway, and there is a small rebated opening to the south. At right angles to the south, low walls remain from a continuing range of buildings. Although identified as a chapel by the Victoria County History, the structure appears to be the medieval gatehouse of a fortified or monastic building.
