What is recorded here

Pair of detached single-bay two-storey former gate lodges, built c. 1800, now derelict. Remains of hipped slate roofs. Rubble stone walls with round-arched recess to front (north) elevations. Elliptical-arched openings. Gate lodges flanking vehicular entrance to country house. Rendered square-profile piers with cut limestone capstones flanked by pedestrian entrances, single-leaf and double-leaf wrought-iron gates remaining.

Symmetry and round-headed openings evidence of conscious design typical of demesne architecture. Part of the demesne of Belgrove, home of the nineteenth-century horticulturalist William Edward Gumbleton. Although in poor repair, retains form, scale and symmetry and is an interesting architectural feature on roadscape.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
