Officers' Mess Entrance
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Officers' Mess Entrance, Dover Castle. Royal arms of Queen Victoria. "Officers' quarters and mess, disused. 1856-58, exterior by A Salvin, architect, plan and interior by G Arnold RE, Clerk of the Works. Polygonal rubble and limestone dressings ... Central entrance section has a cornice and crenellated parapet, raised in the middle, and lower right-hand gable, a long flight of steps leads up to a moulded central doorway flanked by tall, attached octagonal plinths with heraldic lions, beneath a large sunken panel with coat of arms" (Source: Listed building text "TR 3242 DOVER QUEEN ELIZABETH ROAD (north east side), Dover Castle 685/1/1OO05 Officers' barracks and attached basement area walls and rails"[1]. Tudor Revival style; The hexagonal column plinths topped with heraldic beasts holding heraldic shields are reminiscent of the "King's Beasts" at Hampton Court Palace, erected by King Henry VIII. Whilst the doorway is in the Tudor style, the windows are in the Gothic style, somewhat incongruous. |
