Description
The Lodge is a building dating from 1868, likely designed by Charles Barry, junior. It served as a boarding house for Uppingham School and was originally a preparatory school. The structure is made of coursed squared rubble with ironstone banding and ashlar dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof featuring bands of fishscale tiling and ornamental ridge tiles. The gables are coped, and there are moulded stone ridge and end stacks.
This Gothic Revival building has two storeys and attics, with an asymmetrical layout that includes a main block and two stepped wings at the rear, which are progressively lower. The garden front is highlighted by a gabled projection that features a two-storey canted bay window adorned with Gothic tracery. The east front has a similar bay window on the left side. The entrance is located at the chamfered north-east corner and is marked by a steep pyramidal roof with finials. The arched entrance is supported by granite columns with shaft-rings, and above it is a two-light rectangular oriel window with tracery and a parapet.
The roof has three gables, each with 2-light traceried windows and finials, and there are buttresses with set-offs at the corners. The lower wings at the rear have simpler windows and decorative chimney vents at the ridge. There is a 20th-century extension at the back. The Lodge was built for Mr. Hodgkinson, a master from Uppingham School, and was formerly known as Springfield.
