1/4 Gatehouse to Bradlegh
Old Hall (Formerly listed
as Bradley Old Hall including
4/12/1951 Gateway)
GV II*
Ruined gatehouse, circa 1460, of red and yellow sandstone. In yellow
stone a 4-centred arch with panel above, formerly framed (N.Pevsner
South Lancashire) by a giant blank arch, no longer clear. The archway
has canted, moulded jambs flanked by colonnettes. Within the archway
an embrasure (containing stone seats) to each side, with loops,
commands the moat. Springers (as the angles of the ribs suggest) to
former quadripartite vault. At the front corners are massive decayed
diagonal buttresses on octagonal mock-turrets of red sandstone.
Details of the yellow sandstone elements suggests early C19
restoration.
A modern earth causeway gives access across the moat.
