Description: | Square structure with a rounded arch through it and decorative cresting on the top. It has two Corinthian columns on the front (west) side and a cornice and frieze round the top with seven faces carved along it. There are two plainer pilasters on the other (east) side. On top of the square structure is the cresting: an upright acorn with a face carved on either side and two cornucopias, one each side. The shape and style of the arch echoes the arch over the main door of the house. On the back (east side) are lion faces, or possibly they are just decorative motifs - three faces and one decorative motif. There is lead capping along the top which looks reasonably new. On either side of the arch there are traces of brickwork but the structure, possibly a wall, is no longer extant. The arch stands on the opposite side of a large roundish lawn in front of the house. It has no roadway or path through it and is now purely a freestanding decorative feature. The structure is plastered, yellow in colour with a soft surface. Additional Information: Cornucopias and acorns with lion and other faces. | Subjects: | Arch | Source: | Vads | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=6980... | Go to resource |
