SJ 59 SE BURTONWOOD C.P. BRADLEY LANE
1/4 Gatehouse to Bradlegh Old Hall (Formerly listed as Bradley Old Hall including 4/12/1951 Gateway)
GV II*
Ruined gatehouse, circa 1460, of red and yellow sandstone. In yellow stone a 4-centred arch with panel above, formerly framed (N.Pevsner South Lancashire) by a giant blank arch, no longer clear. The archway has canted, moulded jambs flanked by colonnettes. Within the archway an embrasure (containing stone seats) to each side, with loops, commands the moat. Springers (as the angles of the ribs suggest) to former quadripartite vault. At the front corners are massive decayed diagonal buttresses on octagonal mock-turrets of red sandstone. Details of the yellow sandstone elements suggests early C19 restoration. A modern earth causeway gives access across the moat.
