SX9255 DREW STREET, Higher Brixham 1946-1/7/108 (South East side) 10/01/75 Gatehouse and gates approx. 20m WNW of Church of St Mary the Virgin (Formerly Listed as: DREW STREET, Higher Brixham (South East side) Porch and gates to St Mary's Churchyard)

GV II

Gatehouse. Probably c1900, although it may incorporate earlier masonry; gates mid C19. Stone rubble with red sandstone dressings. Flat concrete roof to centre section. Wide, covered passage in centre with small roofless chamber at either side. Single-storeyed. Designed as a Gothic folly. In the centre a tall, wide pointed arch. At either side a smaller pointed arch, that to right chamfered with worn pyramid stops. At either end a segmental-headed window filled with an iron grille. Battlemented parapet, that over the main arch with moulded stone battlements. Inside the main arch a pair of iron gateposts with open Gothic tracery and crenellated tops; moulded inscription MARTIN. EXETER; centres of posts now encased in concrete. Pair of gates with Gothic tracery. Inside the passage is a pointed-arched doorway in each side wall; ceiling with beaded beam and joists. Rear arch matching that at front. The small side-arches have iron gates with decorated finials to the uprights. Inside, defining paths leading to the centre passage are iron railings of similar design. A photograph published c1896 shows a very different gatehouse. The gates and gate piers were already there, but above them was what appeared to be a timber-framed structure, and at either side a cottage. (Gregory C: Brixham in Devonia: Totnes: 1896-).
