The courtyard entrance tunnel is on the left. The elaborate and mysterious doorway to the right of it is very odd. I had assumed that it might give access to a small room for use by a gate keeper but I was wrong...... |

Site
visitor
Kurt
Hatton,
a
guide
for
the
Nottingham
Civic
Society
informs
me
that
the
Third
Duke
of
Newcastle
saw
a
house
being
demolished
in
Castle
Gate
and
asked
the
men
if
they
would
rebuild
it
in
his
gardens.
The
door
was
placed where
it
stands
today and
serves
no
purpose
at
all
other
than
ornamental. |
