Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This province-by-province study represents some fifty years of research, recording sad losses, but also celebrating the survivors. These books seek to increase awareness of the importance of the gate lodge as part of our architectural heritage by emphasizing its uniqueness which in print to date mysteriously has received minimal notice in contrast with the exposure given its big house, and to balance that disparity. So often built to impress, gate lodges and entrances were intended as a favorable first encounter and, sadly, some now survive, often stranded and even more curious, as the only evidence that a great house ever existed, as with the examples at Rockingham, Bellevue and Mote Park, all outliving their houses, their survival an indicator of the architectural significance and a measure of all that was lost in a benighted age. Whilst these conspicuous examples do not set the Irish gate lodge apart from its counterpart in mainland Great Britain, what makes it unique to Ireland is its numbers, proliferating as it does there far in excess of those anywhere else on the planet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the 10,000 or more gate lodges built over a 200-year period since the mid-eighteenth century in Ireland, half have been demolished, and many of those surviving are derelict. The author's research has revealed the gate lodge's extraordinary significance as a building type, particularly in Ireland but also in a world context. Despite displaying detailed architectural sophistication to rival the big house' to which it is a prelude, the gate lodge has received scant coverage in print. Hence this work is also an attempt to right that imbalance. There are descriptions of 2,775 gate lodges in the six counties and they are accompanied by 772 illustrations. Entries are numbered and listed county by county for ease of reference. The gazetteer is preceded by an extensive essay on the history of the gate lodge in Munster, and the book is fully indexed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gate lodges are amongst the most attractive of all small buildings, full of architectural style to reflect the grand country houses whose entrances they guard. They are easy to spot, nearly all being sited alongside public roads, and they survive in surprisingly large numbers. They are a treasure, both for the appeal of the buildings themselves and for their many historical associations. Yet they are not much studied and not much appreciated, a serious omission from architectural history. This book fills the gap, for Wiltshire at least, with a comprehensive study of all the county's 300 plus lodges. Preliminary chapters describe how gate lodges came about, their architecture and how they developed over time. The lodges to the great estates are described in the context of estate history; a tour of the county highlights many of the most interesting other lodges, and further chapters discuss the lodges to cemeteries, as well as providing insights into the life of the gate lodge keeper. Backing this up is a comprehensive gazetteer for the county, describing every lodge, locating it by parish and grid reference, and giving known details of its history. Wiltshire is well provided with gate lodges and has some of the country's best: with this copiously illustrated book the reader will be equipped not only to understand much more about their history and architecture but also to set out to explore these fascinating and often delightful buildings.
