THE GREEN EAST 1. 5377 Long Melford Gateway and Lodges to Melford Hall (formerly listed as Entrance Lodge at Melford Hall) TL 8646 20/416 16.4.71. II*
2. A fine Elizabethan red brick gateway built at the same time as Melford Hall and in the same style (circa 1559). The 2 gabled lodges flanking the gate-way are Victorian but are completely in style and form a pleasant composition with the original gateway which has a 4-centred moulded brick archway with a stone panel above carved with a coat of arms. The archway is flanked by octagonal towers rising from massive square bases, broached to form the octagons. These towers are similar in design to those of Melford Hall, with a range of leaded windows below an ogee domed roof with shell ornamented lunettes and later elaborate decorative wrought iron finials. The single storeyed lodges to the north and south of the gateway have parapets and stopped gables. The windows are leaded casements with moulded brick reveals and square hood moulds. On the north and south sides there are external chimney stacks, each with 2 octagonal shafts. Roofs tiled.
