Description
The Griffin Gates and Lodges to Howsham Hall are a pair of lodges and four gateposts dating from the mid-18th century. They are constructed from sandstone ashlar. The two rectangular lodges are situated on either side of the road, with four stone gateposts positioned between them. Each lodge is one storey high and consists of one bay. They feature keyed stone arches with a band at the impost level, are blind on the sides, and have a window at the front along with a former doorway at the rear. The lodges have a moulded cornice and a parapet, although the roofs are missing. Of the gateposts, two are almost complete, and the base of a third remains, with fragments of the fourth scattered nearby. The gateposts are rectangular piers with oval medallions on the front and rear, moulded capitals, and one is topped by a heavily damaged griffin rising from a wreath. These structures serve as the entrance to Howsham Hall.
