Entrance Gates for Lucknam Park Country Estate in Wiltshire
In 2008 we were asked to design and make these gates and railings for the main entrance to Lucknam Park.
These gates were made in mild steel using traditional blacksmithing techniques.
It is not known exactly when Lucknam began, but the -ham ending to its name, ‘Luckenham’ suggests that it was a Saxon settlement dating from before the Norman Invasion in 1066.
From as far back as 1199 to 1688 there was a farmhouse on the current site of the main house. For over 5 centuries the land was farmed until 1688 when the last of that family died leaving all the estate to nine cousins who decided to sell.
In 1987 Lucknam Park was bought by Lucknam Park Hotels Ltd.
Lucknam Park is approached by a magnificent mile long avenue of four hundred lime and beech trees planted in 1827. The gardens of the hotel spread over 5 acres and are set within an impressive estate of 500 acres of listed parkland.
