Description

Clutton Lodge, also known as West Lodge, is a lodge dating from around 1830. It is constructed of ashlar sandstone set on a rusticated base, topped with a heavy cornice that supports a domed stuccoed brick roof, which is crowned by a terracotta urn. The building has a square plan with concave sides and canted corners. There are round-arched niches at the front and outer rear corners, and a round-arched doorway in the inner rear corner, although the door has been replaced. The triple round-arched window openings at the front and rear contain small-pane iron casements. Inside, it was formerly the lodge-keeper's day-room, featuring arched embrasures at the windows. There is a fireplace on the outer side, and the urn-finial on the dome also served as a chimney. The design reflects Baroque influences, possibly inspired by early 18th-century wrought iron screens and former gates.
