====Inner and outer gatehouses==== By the time Gregory came to begin the building of the entrance to the cour d'honneur, Salvin had been dismissed. The reason for this is unclear, but the consensus among architectural historians is that disagreements of Gregory's future plans for the design and decoration of his house led to an estrangement.{{sfn|Franklin|1981|p=48}} After some consultations with Edward Blore, Gregory employed William Burn. [[Historic England]] credits Burn, his assistant David Bryce, and Gregory himself with the design of the gateway.{{efn|Both Antram and Franklin are sceptical that Burn, "a dry and somewhat prosaic designer", could alone be responsible for the designs of the screen and lodges.{{sfn|Pevsner|Harris|Antram|2002|p=364}}{{sfn|Franklin|1981|p=49}}}}<ref name="NHLEGatewayScreen"/> Antram considers the lodges and screen to be unlike anything else in England of that date, and comparable only to the work of [[John Vanbrugh]] at [[Blenheim Palace]].{{sfn|Pevsner|Harris|Antram|2002|p=364}} The central gateway is flanked by two pavilions with pierced archways and larger lodges to each side.<ref name="NHLEGatewayScreen"/> The outer lodges are topped by "scrolled [[Corbel|consoles]] [supporting] [[Sarcophagus|sacrophagi]]...the scale gargantuan".{{sfn|Pevsner|Harris|Antram|2002|p=364}} The outer gatehouse is earlier and was designed by Salvin in a much more restrained [[Tudor Revival architecture|Tudor Revival]] style.<ref name="NHLEFormerStablesGatehouseNW"/>
