Great Gatehouse, Dunstanburgh Castle
"There, in the arch-way, rude and high,
Sought refuge from the inclement sky;
It sprang from gothic columns tall,
And entrance gave to tower and hall.
But the studded gates were closed and fast,
And many a year, 'tis said had passed
Since mortal eye had seen unfold
The massy valves of that entrance old."
From The Wandering Knight of Dunstanborough Castle by James Service (1822).
