The Lodge, Linking Walls And Gate Piers To West Of Walworth Castle

The Lodge, along with the linking walls and gate piers to the west of Walworth Castle, is a lodge built around 1870 in the Tudor style. It features rock-faced masonry with ashlar dressings and has an L-plan layout. The single-storey lodge consists of three by two bays and includes a slightly projecting extruded porch with a four-centred chamfered doorway, a diagonal buttress, and an embattled parapet. The cross windows, which are set in recessed wall panels above a chamfered band, have ovolo mullions and transoms. The structure is topped with embattled parapets and has slightly taller corner towers. There are short serpentine walls connecting the lodge to the right gate pier and between the left pair of piers, both featuring embattled parapets. The gate piers flanking the drive have projecting embattled tops supported by square corbels. A 20th-century wing at the rear of the lodge is not of special interest. The lodge is included for its group value with Walworth Castle.
