The well-knownentrance gate to Sydenham House, Devon, is practically a replicaexcept as to a central panel, which almost repeats the design ofthe pilasters to 15, Cheyne Walk. At Easton, Lord Warwicks placeinEssex, is .another replica of the gate and panels, but they are be-tween heavy H-plan piers, with wide solid moulded bases and gate has been restored, and some of its existing features maynot be original. The well-known house at Rainham, illustrated onPI. Ill of Belchers Later Renaissance, has also a gate of nearlythe same design, without the border to the overthrow or the acanthus London Gates 151. SCALsfc^-^ FIG. 55. 6, FOREST LANE, STRATFORD. DraWfl by G. G. POSTON. 152 English Ironwork of the XVIIth and XVIIIth Centuries leaves. A similar but simpler gate is at Whalebone Hall, ChadwellHeath (Plate xliii), where the pilasters are of lyre design and the over-throw low, of recurved scrolls with water-leaves, berries and contrast to these, but with the same lock-rail, fringe and arrow-pointed dog-bars, are the pair of low and plain gates with wicketsat Raphael Park, Romford (Plate xliv). A much more lofty andimposing gate at Battersea, witk side panels, recalls the ForestLane gate, and is between high piers somewhat like those ofEaston. The wide overthrow is partly a repeat of that at ForestLane, without the border at the base or the acanthus leaves andmonogram, and there are fine railings with pilasters on eitherside.
