Gateway. c.1706-1710, by Nicholas Hawksmoor. Limestone ashlar. Frosted columns, set on polygonal plinths, each support cornice and flat scrolls flanking two-tier campanile-style superstructure crowned by vases of flowers carved by Grinling Gibbons. Late C19 carriage gates. Cast-iron railings on low limestone walls swept to meet terminal piers of banded rustication. The gate piers originally stood in the garden to the east of Blenheim Palace (q.v.) and were moved to their present position in the 1770s.
(Blenheim Park is included in the HBMC Register of Parks and Gardens at Grade I)
