Details

LUPPITT ST 10 NE 6/52 Mohuns Ottery Gatehouse and front - garden walls approximately 5 metres south of Mohuns Ottery Farmhouse GV II* Ruins of gatehouse and adjoining garden walls. The gatehouse is mid C16 and built by Sir Peter Carew, the walls are probably mid C19 (contemporary with the 1868 rebuild of the farmhouse). Local stone and flint rubble with Beerstone ashlar dressings and detail. Only the bottom stage remains of what must have been a 2 or 3-storey rectangular building on north-south axis. Each end (north and south) are carriageway arches. They are 4-centred arches with moulded surrounds and spandrels superbly carved with heraldic devices with Renaissance style foliage and putti and hoodmoulds. The front doorway is flanked by late C19 cream-coloured brick buttresses. The side walls are blind although there is a patch of blocking on the west side which might represent a blocked doorway. A mass of masonry against the east wall may represent a stair. The gatehouse is roofless. The path from the gatehouse to the farmhouse is lined by mid C19 low stone rubble walls and there is a mounting block on the outside of the west wall. From each side of the front of the gatehouse are similar garden boundary walls. This gatehouse was probably built by Sir Peter Carew (1512 - 75) who died on the Mary Rose.
