172 THE FORMAL GARDEN IN ENGLAND vm.
is that of Westwood, in Worcestershire, shown
in Kip's views. This is probably Elizabethan.
The gateway is set back between two projecting
bays with stone gables. The wall between is
of brick, the upper part of open strapwork in
stone. Over the centre of the building rises
a square stage of oak framing, slated, for a
clock or bell. In Atkyns's Gloucestershire
(p. 340) a view is given of Shipton Moyne,
showing a gatehouse flanked with turrets, and
a room over the arch, apparently reached by
steps from a raised terrace running round the
fore court. There is a somewhat similar in-
stance at Bolsover Castle. The gateway stands
in a polygonal wall of sufficient thickness to
admit of a walk along the top all round the
court, this walk being reached from a small
door from the first floor of the keep. The
gateway of Hardwick House, with its open
strapwork, is a very ugly instance of a gate-
house to the fore court in one storey. The gate-
way was sometimes flanked 011 either hand by
small one-storey buildings for a porter's lodge,
as at Ribston, in Yorkshire; or the gateway
was simply an archway in the courtyard wall,
with a cornice and gable or pediment over.
There is a curious instance at Bradshaw Hall,
in Derbyshire, 1620. With the introduction
of long avenues a further change was made.
The gatehouse in front of the house interfered
with the view of the facade. The fore court
is that of Westwood, in Worcestershire, shown
in Kip's views. This is probably Elizabethan.
