Description: The former Gate House to Ham Common on the A307, Upper Ham Road. The inscription to the left states: "Erected by the inhabitants of Ham and Hatch, 1771". The house and gate was operated as an almshouse, the gate was to prevent animals straying off the common, not a toll gate. There were two other similar gates bounding the common. The inscription to the right states "Restored by the Hon. Mrs Algernon Tollemache, 1892". The building was further restored in 1968.
