Entrance to Clawson Lodge

Clawson Lodge was a private house designed by the distinctive local architect Watson Fothergill. Even this little entrance gate shows specific hallmarks - the black timbering, the red-tiled roof, and in particular the style of lettering used for the name carved into the gate-stones. The letters are created by carving out the background, the letters themselves being flush with the face of the stone, and of a style derived clearly from medieval manuscript illustration.
