Description


SJ 55 SW CHOLMONDELEY C.P. CHOLMONDELEY PARK


1/19 Somerset Lodge

GV II

Inner park gatehouse, on the east approach to the Castle, early C19,
probably for the first Marquis of Cholmondeley. Hammer-dressed
sandstone with lead roof. 2 storeys, 3 bays. Large carriageway
opening bay, slightly set forward, with full height multi-panelled
openwork gates. The opening is flanked by sashes with "Y" tracery
glazing bars in lancet openings and smaller lancet casements to ground
floor only. The carriage arch is surmounted by a shield bearing arms
and crown. The outer bays have moulded cornice and crenellated
parapet and the centre bay has its parapet supported on a corbel table
to simulate a tower. The east and west faces of the gatehouse are
similar. Gable end stacks. The gatehouse is flanked by crenellated
wing walls which hide single storey brick and stone outbuildings.
Within the arch is a plastered quadripartite vaulted ceiling and
Tudor-headed doors, north and south, with lock rail and five vertical
panels above and below.
