Built in 1555 by Sir Edward Aston, this gatehouse was once the
grand entrance to an even grander house.
The main house was rebuilt, demolished and
rebuilt again over the next 3 centuries, until in 1928 when the house
was demolished, and the material re-used to build the Saint John's
Church Chancel at Littleworth.
The top sections of the four towers closely
resemble the Bottle Lodge which is situated a mile or so away. We were
unable to find any relating reference between these buildings but the
similarity is uncanny. Check out the bottle lodge HERE
(1980's) and HERE (Recent). You can
also see a black and white image of the gatehouse HERE.
