3/135 Arch about 30 metres North of Lea Hall
GV II
Gateway arch. Circa 1681, reconstructed on this site in circa 1931. Limestone ashlar. A round arch of a single order of voussoirs with a keystone, moulded imposts and square piers. The keystone has carved on its north face a coronet with a much weathered monogram or arms below. At the springing of the arch the voussoirs are rendered brick substitutes. On either side therre are brick buttresses supporting the piers.
The arch has been re-erected over the carriageway of a small bridge over the moat of Lea Hall qv.
Note: The arch is reputedly the entrance arch from Hull Citadel which was designed by Martin Beckman in 1680 and begun in 1681. The Citadel went out of military use in the 1850s and was demolished in 1864. The entrance arch was acquired by Co. Lambert White who re-erected it in the grounds of Lambert House, Hedon, near Hull. It was moved to this site in 1931 by one of Col. Lambert White's sons.
