Designs for a gateway for the New Road entrance, 1781-2 (2)

Notes

The northern lodge of the entrance screen designed for Mistley (SM Adam volume 51/67) survives in situ. Both lodges are recorded on a plan of the estate, drawn up for the sale in 1844. It seems that the southern lodge was still evident in c1922, but has since been demolished. King notes that this design compares directly to an earlier design (1777) made for the Wyke Green entrance to Osterley Park. The only minor variance between the two designs is the introduction of the swag panels for the Mistley lodges.
