Description
The lodge to Samlesbury Hall is a gate lodge, likely built in the late 19th century. It is constructed from rendered brick on a stone plinth and features steeply-pitched roofs with two ridge chimneys. The building has a square plan and is one storey high, with a roof made up of two pairs of parallel ridges that intersect at right angles, creating two gables on each side. The design is symmetrical, with walls painted and rendered to match the pattern of Samlesbury Hall, featuring a black background with four rows of white quatrefoils. The central front door is flanked by six-light mullioned and transomed windows, and each side wall has two similar windows. An incised inscription on the north side of the plinth, originally from the south wall of Blackburn Parish Church, reads: "THOU DOE THY WORKE BEGINE THANK GOD CRAVE PARDON FOR THEY SIN AND THEN THY WORKE SHAL PROSPER SO AS WANT SHAL NEVER BREED THEE WOE. 1614. M. HAYE."
