What is recorded here
Gateway, built 1843, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of repointed drag edged tooled limestone ashlar piers on chamfered plinths having creeper- or ivy-covered shallow pyramidal capping. Street fronted at entrance to grounds of Newport House.
A gateway forming part of a self-contained group alongside an adjacent gate lodge (see 31208008) with the resulting ensemble not only making a pleasing visual statement at the entrance on to the grounds of the Newport House estate, but also illustrating the continued development or "improvement" of the estate in the nineteenth century.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
