My stone mason OH says that’s not a proper keystone, it’s cracked right through and needs redoing ..quickly. He’s cut keystones in granite, should be much wider at the top.

We have had the arch repaired - well 3 or 4 bricks replaced and we were told if this did not hold for more than a few years then it would be best to have the arch rebuilt. We think that since the arch was originally made during a freezing cold spell of weather this may be partly the cause of the cracks.

I do agree with Papi Jo about that gate. I would have chosen one, or had it cut, to mirror the arch thus making a pleasing circle.
