Reasons for Designation
Pair of lodges and gates creating a grand ashlar entrance to St. Hugh's College, arranged in a symmetrical composition to create an architectural focal point of entrance/chapel building. The lodges are of much the same First-War date as, and by the same architects (Buckland and Haywood) as, the main College building, also recommended for listing. The lodges and associated gates and walling are elegant and carefully detailed, and part of the overall public face of the college. Designated at grade II.
