Appraisal
This gate lodge was marks an entrance to the Glasshouse estate. Glasshouse no longer survives but is recorded to have been a fine country house. This gate lodge survives as a reminder of that estate. The unusual form of the lodge is architecturally appealing and is enhanced by the decorative detailing of the niches to the canted entrance bay.
