Tagged with: Gatehouse
The Norman style of architectural detailing indicates these gates, railings and lodges are part of the improvements carried out in 1826-8 by Thomas Rowlands, architect and builder, of Haverfordwest, for R B P Philipps. They appear on Goode's estate plan of 1829. They were perhaps planned in anticipation of the formation of the new road approaching from the N, which was set out to approach the gateway as a symmetrical match to the older road approaching from the W.
The two gate lodges constitute one dwelling, the E lodge being the cottage and the W lodge an outbuilding. In 1841 it was occupied by James Jones, carpenter, and his wife.
A modern extension has been discretely added to the rear of the E lodge.
Two lodges in a style uniform with the gate-piers. Each is a small square building about 5 m by 5 m, rendered and painted white. The door and window heads at the front and facing the driveway are in neo-Norman detailing. Window joinery replaced. There is a shallow parapet on corbels, with crenellations, concealing a shallow-pitched pyramidal slate roof with metal hip covers. At the centre of each lodge is a large octagonal chimney; that of the W lodge is a dummy.
Listed as a fine entrance and for group value with Picton Castle.
