Description

TL 51 NW HATFIELD BROAD OAK

3/135 Arch about 30 metres
North of Lea Hall

GV II

Gateway arch. Circa 1681, reconstructed on this site in circa
1931. Limestone ashlar. A round arch of a single order of
voussoirs with a keystone, moulded imposts and square piers. The
keystone has carved on its north face a coronet with a much
weathered monogram or arms below. At the springing of the arch
the voussoirs are rendered brick substitutes. On either side
therre are brick buttresses supporting the piers.

The arch has been re-erected over the carriageway of a small
bridge over the moat of Lea Hall qv.

Note: The arch is reputedly the entrance arch from Hull Citadel
which was designed by Martin Beckman in 1680 and begun in 1681.
The Citadel went out of military use in the 1850s and was
demolished in 1864. The entrance arch was acquired by Co. Lambert
White who re-erected it in the grounds of Lambert House, Hedon,
near Hull. It was moved to this site in 1931 by one of Col.
Lambert White's sons.
