Severe, as prisons should be, and noble, large expanses of blank stone and Greek Doric columns at the gateway. By Francis Goodwin, 1823-27. Grade II listed. Nowadays, those walking through the entrance are condemned to nothing more than the modern offices (Vernon Gate) which lie behind, and which are probably a little less mean than their antecedent.
