Description
The remains of gates and gate piers are located at the east corner of Poundisford Lodge, along with walls that enclose the garden, which continue southeast to the Garden House. The gate piers and walls date from the 18th century, while the remains of the gates are from around 1900. The walls are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, featuring brick coping and pilaster buttresses. The gate piers are also made of red brick, square in plan, with moulded plinths and cornices topped with stone ball finials. The gates, which are in very poor condition, are made of painted wood and consist of double doors with two raised and fielded dado panels and dowelled slats forming a grill, connected by a tie beam above the gate piers. The plan includes gate piers at the east with ruins of former greenhouses, returning north around the garden, which is bordered by a wall that flanks the drive to Poundisford Lodge, with the stables located opposite. A later wall, not included in this listing, runs below the east wall parallel to the public road. The garden wall extends south to the Garden House, following a line that aligns with the contours of the Park Pale, which enclosed the medieval deer park of the episcopal castle of Taunton.
