The Grand Lodge gatehouse was built in 1807 together with a 4-mile long boundary wall as part of the alterations to the park that had been laid in the 1700s as a setting for Heaton Hall. Following the alterations, the gatehouse became the main formal entrance to the estate. The lodge keeper’s living quarters are on either side of the arch, joined by steps across the top.
