2/27 Skelton Lodges to Newby Hall with attached gates 6.3.67 and screen walls (formerly listed as "The Skelton Lodges Newby Park Nos 25,26,27 & 28)

GV I

Range of lodge buildings, gates and screen walls. c1777 by William Belwood for William Weddell with c.1870 restoration. Ashlar, brick, grey slate roofs, wrought-iron gates. A long symmetrical range composed of central double gates, gate piers, railings, outer piers and ramped walls to flanking square one-bay, 2-storey lodges, screen walls with central gateways beyond with outer single-storey, 3-bay lodges beyond again, outer screen walls with central gateways ramped up to massive end piers. Central gates (probably C19): bars with lock rail and S-scroll ornament to high arched tops. Inner piers: banded rustication of an angular vermiculated type, surmounted by cineraria with classical emblems including ramsheads, swags and masks. Seated lion crest. Railings (original): elaborate vase and spearhead finials to bars, lock rail band with diamond pattern, dogbars below. Outer piers: rustication as main piers, surmounted by stepped cornice with small seated animal supporting a shield. Short length of wall of finely laid ashlar, flat, slightly projecting coping, ramped up to lodge. Inner pair of lodge houses: rusticated plinth and quoins. Advanced central 24-pane window set in an architrave flanked by Doric columns, each having 2 bands of rustication; entablature and triangular corniced pediment above. Modillioned eaves cornice with blocking course and corner piers surmounted by ball finials. Shallow pyramidal roof with central corniced stack. Each ramped wall linking the inner and outer lodge houses is approximately 10 metres long and 2.5 metres high, with central 6-panel door in an architrave with pediment surmounted by large vase urn,flanked by plain piers. Flat coping with ball finials over the piers. Outer lodge houses: central round- headed 6-panel double door in a deeply rusticated archway with keystone and triangular pediment. Flanking tripartite sashes in architraves with cornices; the outer half-bays of the building project slightly and contain arched recesses. Eaves band, wooden gutter brackets to centre, hipped roof, banded central stack. The outer lengths of screen walls are similar to those between the lodges. End pier: the recessed corners of rusticated ashlar, central niche with projecting sill. The deep entablature has a central rusticated panel, deep cornice and flanking S-scroll blocks. Small vase and cushion finial. Rear: the inner lodge facades are similar to the front, but lacking the rustication; the sides away from the drive have 2 circular windows lighting the first floor. The right-hand lodge has a 6- panel door facing the drive, the left lodge doorway faces away from the drive. Interiors not inspected at resurvey. William Belwood's design for the inner lodges and gates survive, the outer lodges are possibly not part of the original design but do contain features similar to the stables (qv). The main gates and vase finials probably date from the c1870 re-ordering of the grounds by Lady Mary Vyner.
