Summary
DescriptionLangley Hall gatehouse - geograph.org.uk - 148196.jpg |
English: Langley Hall gatehouse "Chedgrave Gate". Just off the A146 on the road to Chedgrave; the statues on either side are inscribed "Toujours Fidele" (forever faithful) the motto of the Beauchamp family who lived at Langley Hall (now 148137 ). Langley Hall was built in 1740 incorporating an earlier house and Langley Park was first laid out in 1736. The grand entranceway, Chedgrave Gate, is guarded by two symmetrical brick lodges built in 1784 decorated with engraved heraldic shields with the motto TOUJOURS FIDELE (always faithful). These are linked by a brick arch and a pair of curved iron gates. Chedgrave Gate built in 1784 by Sir Thomas Beauchamp-Proctor, 2nd Baronet (1756–1827) the son of Sir William Beauchamp-Proctor, 1st Baronet (1722–1773).
Sir Thomas Beauchamp-Proctor, 2nd Baronet (1756–1827) married Mary Palmer, daughter of Robert Palmer of Holme Park, Soning, Berkshire, which he purchased in 1795, having previously resided at nearby Hurst Lodge. Palmer was a rich lawyer from Great Russell Street (Bloomsbury) where he became the agent for the Duke of Bedford. In 1796 he pulled down the old house and set to work erecting a fine new building in the latest Georgian style (as illustrated). This family lived at Holme Park for just over a hundred years, rebuilding the house again in Victorian Gothic style in 1881. The estate eventually left private hands, in 1912, when it was sold up to become a preparatory school. Arms on two matching oval shields each supported by a single greyhound: Beauchamp quartering Proctor, all impaling Palmer of Holme Park, Soning, Berkshire (Chequy or and sable, on a chief gules two mullets of the first (Burke, Sir Bernard, The General Armory, London, 1884, p.773)). The shields are arranged according to "heraldic courtesy", that on the right (sinister) being a mirror image of that on the left (dexter). See [1] and [2] |
