LANCASTER

SD46SE ASHTON ROAD 1685-1/1/7 (West side) 18/02/70 Entrance gateway at Ripley St Thomas School (Formerly Listed as: ASHTON ROAD Lodge and adjacent entrance gateway at Ripley St Thomas' School)

GV II

Entrance gateway. c1860. Probably by J Cunningham. Sandstone ashlar with some polygonal masonry above the archways. Consists of 4 piers: the inner ones flank the driveway and are linked to the outer piers by pointed archways which form the pedestrian entrances. These archways have steep coped gables with fleur-de-lys finials, the gables rising from weathered set-backs in the main piers. These piers have 8-sided stone caps with poppyhead finials. The wrought-iron gates appear to be original and incorporate scrolls and trefoiled arches.
