Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Moongate, Gamlingay Cinques. Look carefully, and you'll see a crumbling brick edifice behind the foliage. This is the ruin of an 18th-century (?) moongate in the grounds of the now-vanished Gamlingay Hall. The moongate was like a giant circular glassless window through which the full moon could be seen to picturesque advantage. Some believe that the structure was poorly sited and that a full moon would rarely if ever be visible through it. Still, it must have made an intriguing landscape feature, as it still does. A different angle can be seen here: 267116.
