(Formerly listed as: Entrance archway and flanking Walls to the Royal School)
GV
II
Entrance gateway and flanking walls. c1858. By James Wilson. Quarry faced limestone with ashlar dressings. Gothic style. Main arch has plinth supporting pilaster buttresses with trefoil headed panel and gable above. Die into piers stepped up over three-centred arch carrying royal achievement of arms at apex (this was presumably added to gateway when it became Royal School for Daughters of Army Officers in 1865). Gateway flanked by paired colonnettes with stiff leaf capitals on either side, arch itself has three orders and dripmould with portrait stops. Modern wrought iron gates. Smaller footgate to right with three centred arch and stepped head with moulded coping. Castellated wall runs to either side of gateways, for about fifty metres above gate and rather less below. Rest of rubble wall onto Lansdown Road and also return onto Charlcombe Lane as well as at rear of school fronting Richmond Road is not of special interest.
