Nelson Gate (otherwise known as Sproxton Gates). This is one of the entrances to Duncombe Park, a Baroque mansion set in several hundred acres of parkland, situated in Helmsley, North Yorkshire, between Thirsk and Pickering. The principal entrance to Duncombe Park is from the north-east in the centre of Helmsley. This photo though, is of an entrance accessed from the A170, at the south-east tip of the site, near Sproxton. It has a gateway in the form of a triumphal arch called Nelson Gate (1806, listed grade II) and an early C19 lodge (listed grade II) from which a drive leads north-west to the west front of the House. This prominent landmark was built in 1806 to commemorate Nelson’s victory at Trafalgar. It is thought to be one of the earliest monuments to be dedicated to Nelson, built only a year after his death in 1805.
