Description
The entrance gateway located about 5 metres east of Broom Lodge, along with its flanking walls, dates from the early 19th century and is possibly designed by James or Jeffry Wyatt, who later became Sir Jeffry Wyattville. The gateway features ham stone piers and timber gates. The walling on both sides stands approximately 2 metres high and includes a plinth, recessed panels, and heavy angled copings. The plain piers, which are the same height, curve back into the gateway in a serpentine shape, matching a similar structure located 80 metres west of Hinton House, but on a larger scale. There are four square piers with plain bases, top bands, steps, and necked bases topped with pineapple finials. The inner piers flank a carriage gate that is about 3.5 metres high, while the outer piers have pedestrian gates that are about 3 metres high. This gateway became the main entrance to Hinton House when the village approach was replaced by the New Road, which was established in 1766 and runs around the north side of the church to reconnect with the old cross route outside this gateway. The landscaping was reportedly completed around 1817.
