Description
NRHE data transfer:
Tudor style gateway and gates to Icehouse Lodge, Audley Park. The gateway dates to the mid 19th century, possibly a rebuilding of an early 17th century gate. Construction is of brick and stone and comprises a four centred arched head with a double shouldered buttress on each side and a subsidiary wicket gate to the west. The gates are of iron. Brickwork at the rear of the arch which is similar to the rest of the wall, suggests that the current gateway is a rebuild of one contemporary with the early 17th century wall. <1>
