172 THE FORMAL GARDEN IN ENGLAND vm 



Bridlington, in Yorkshire, are good examples in 

 brick and stone. At Lanhydrock, in Cornwall, 

 there is a curious two-storey gatehouse in stone, 

 standing at the end of a fine avenue of syca- 

 mores, 37 paces wide, with counter avenues of 

 beeches i6 paces wide. Another remarkable 

 gatehouse is that of Westwood, in Worcester- 

 shire, shown in Kip's views. This is probably 

 Elizabethan. The gateway is set back between 

 two projecting bays with stone gables. The 

 wall between is of brick, the upper part of open 

 strapwork in stone. Over the centre of the 

 building rises a square stage of oak framing, 

 slated, for a clock or bell. In Atkyns's Glou- 

 cestershire (p. 340) a view is given of Shipton 

 Moyne, showing a gatehouse flanked with 

 turrets, and a room over the arch, apparently 

 reached by steps from a raised terrace running 

 round the fore court. There is a somewhat 

 similar instance at Bolsover Castle. The gate- 

 way stands in a . polygonal wall of sufficient 

 thickness to admit of a walk along the top all 

 round the court, this walk being reached from a 

 small door from the first floor of the keep. 

 The gateway of Hardwick House, with its open 

 strapwork, is a very ugly instance of a gate- 

 house to the fore court in one storey. The 

 gateway was sometimes flanked on either hand 

 by small one-storey buildings for a porter's lodge, 

 as at Ribston, in Yorkshire ; or the gateway 

 was simply an archway in the courtyard wall,
