Description


TEWKESBURY

SO8933 HIGH STREET 859-1/5/217 (West side) 27/07/73 Boundary walls and gateway to Tudor Hotel (Formerly Listed as: HIGH STREET (West side) Garden wall and gateway immediately to N of Tudor Hotel)

GV II

Boundary walls with gateway, gates and doors. Late C17 gateway, C18 and C20 rebuilt walls and gates. Brick with ashlar dressings. A short length of wall incorporating the gateway to High Street, and a longer return to Red Lane, enclosing a small courtyard to the north side of Tudor Hotel (qv). The High Street run in stretcher bond brickwork with flush stone quoins and approx 2.5m high, is set slightly forward from the main front of the Hotel. At its centre is a raised attic course in ashlar with thin cornice on 2 consoles, and a blocking course carrying 3 stone balls on pinnacles above an arched opening with central key, and on stone responds with caps. A pair of C20 wooden gates is set to the opening, with the dates 1540 and 1932; the latter representing the date of the restoration of the gateway. The longer return stretch to Red Lane is in English bond brickwork, probably of the early C18, rising to a maximum approx 3m height with a weathered and oversailing brick coping. There is a plank door adjoining the gable of the service block, and to its left an earlier opening, now blocked. There is a base course in single large stones for most of this length. A 1947 photograph in the NMR shows the gate set to all ashlar walling to High Street, with very worn stonework to the archway, and shrub overgrowth to the wall top. (National Monuments Record: 1947-).
