Description
The East Lodges to Denton Park, likely built around 1778 and possibly designed by John Carr, are a pair of lodges featuring gates and gate piers. Constructed from ashlar with graduated slate roofs, the lodges are complemented by wrought-iron gates. The main gates consist of two leaves, adorned with bars that have arrow-head finials and a pattern of vertical and horizontal bands of squares within circles. The pedestrian gates are designed similarly.
The gate piers showcase rusticated quoins, a fluted band, and an entablature with decorative paterae and a cornice topped with festooned urns. The fluted band extends over the pedestrian gateways at the coping level and continues on an impost band leading to the lodges. Each lodge features round-headed sash windows with glazing bars, a plain door facing away from the drive, a blind window at the rear, dentilled eaves cornice, and pointed roofs with short chimney stacks.
The walls flanking the drive are approximately 1.2 meters high, topped with rounded coping stones and ending in rusticated piers with shallow pyramidal finials near the roadside.
