8/42 Ripon Gates at east side of Studley Park, with flanking walls and lodges 6.3.67 (Formerly listed as Golf Cottage and East Lodge) GV II*

Gateway, flanking walls and lodges. Early C18 for John Aislabie; with advice from Colen Campbell; the lodges enlarged 1840. Wrought-iron gates and overthrow, ashlar stone slate roof with lead margins to lodges. Gateway: round-arched carriage entrance flanked by straight-headed pedestrian entrances. Vermiculated rusticated quoins and voussoirs. Impost band from round arch carried over pedestrian arches and continues as the coping to flanking walls. Keystone with mask, deep modillioned eaves cornice, 4 ball finials. Wrought-iron overthrow in fan pattern; pedestrian gates with plain bars and rails. Flanking walls - approximately 3.5 metres high and 6 metres long. North lodge: T-plan, one-storey, 3-bays, the right bay projecting at front and rear. Left - 6-panel door in Gibbs surround with tripartite keystone and open pediment. 4-pane sash centre and right; narrow attic window in gable, right. Modillioned eaves cornice, open gable pediment. Corniced ridge stack to right of door and centre of right bay. Rear: stone mullioned canted bay window right; 4-pane sashes. Left return: blocked doorway, narrow window above. Right return: attached lean-to screened by flanking ramped wall with flat coping and end pier with shallow pyramidal cap. South lodge: similar to north but with wider gable window on front. The style of the gateway is very similar to the Mackershaw Lodge (qv), but the original small square lodge houses were probably similar to those at the Canal gates (qv) and the fishing houses on the Cascade (qv) both being built c1720. The door surrounds are similar to those at Sleningford Park (qv), dated c1710.
