Erwarton Hall and Gatehouse stand to the north of the village of Erwarton, on the Shotley Peninsula in Suffolk, England. Although earlier structures stood on the site, the present hall was rebuilt in around 1575 by Sir Philip Parker. The gatehouse is earlier, dating to around 1549. The hall is a Grade II* listed building while the gatehouse is separately listed at Grade I.
History
The village of Erwarton (alternatively Arwarton) is recorded in Domesday. The lordship of the manor was held the D'Avillars, descending to the Calthorpes. The last of this line, Sir Philip Calthorpe, married Jane Boleyn, becoming uncle-by-marriage of Queen Anne Boleyn. Calthorpe died c.1549 and Nikolaus Pevsner suggests that the Erwarton Gatehouse was built to commemorate his memory.
Peter Ashley, in his study Comings and goings: Gatehouses and Lodges published in association with English Heritage, notes that while gatehouses have their origins in defensive architecture, they evolved from being "the first line of defence the first line in a style offensive". The Erwarton Gatehouse belongs to the second type, Historic England suggesting that a strong central gate was never installed, and that the gatehouse has always stood in isolation without the encircling curtain walls that would have been necessary to make it effective as a bar to encroachment.
Architecture and description
The hall is listed at Grade II* while the gatehouse is separately listed at Grade I.
