The brick gateway is next to St Peter's Church Yard. Although it is all that remains of the college founded by Cardinal Wolsey in 1528, the shaping of the brick in the flanking piers and hood moulding of the panel over the doorway indicate in miniature the quality of workmanship achieved under his patronage. The arms of Henry VIII are set above the doorway.
