"Southwest of the [Fonthill Bishop] village, an archway with two flanking lodges spans the road to Fonthill Gifford. This entrance to Fonthill Park was probably built c. 1756 to designs of John Vardy; long decorative walls, with urn finials, were added on both sides of the road c. 1860. The whole was designated as Grade I listed in 1966."

Nice segment from the arch pictured at Fonthill Bishop up through the park to the site of the old arch at Fonthill Gifford, adjacent to the excellent Beckford Arms!
