New Hall Gate to Chirk Park: the S Lodge

The New Hall Gate to Chirk Park, known as the S Lodge, is a building constructed from ashlar sandstone with slate roofs, while the pediments are covered with lead. It features two pavilions set within a semicircular re-entrant in the stone estate wall, which are approximately 10.75 meters apart. Each pavilion is a single cell that showcases a Greek Doric portico on both the front and back, with the inner sides decorated with two blind arches beneath a continuation of the entablature. The slender, unfluted columns support a well-proportioned architrave and a triglyph frieze, topped with a pediment that has plain mutule blocks. Inside the arch, there is a round-headed opening with a moulded arris, featuring a 12-pane sash window at the front and a 5-fielded panel access door at the rear. The outer face of the building is made of rubble and includes a chimney for the internal fireplace.
