at ridge centres. Each lodge has pillars flanking gable end supporting
globe with projecting fluted band. The curved linking walls, approximately
2 metres high, have flat copings. The outer pair of gate-piers,
approximately 3 metres high, support forward-facing sphinxes. The inner
pair, approximately 4 metres high, have an entablature with rosette motif
and a triangular pediment surmounted by inward-facing lions with paw on
