Description
The Middle Lodge is a lodge built around 1805 by William Wilkins Senior, designed in the Neo-Classical style. It is constructed of ashlar and rendered brick, topped with a hipped Welsh slate roof that features a rendered ridge stack. The building is a single storey with a plain plinth, a cornice adorned with mutules, and a Doric frieze below. It has a square plan with a lower range to the east, which is likely an addition.
Facing the drive, there is a blocked doorway that includes a small glazing bar sash set within a blind round arched panel. The rendered range beyond has mostly 2-light casements. The wall extends to the west, featuring a broad semi-circular arch over the drive that springs almost from the ground. The Doric frieze and cornice continue above this arch. The entrance is marked by wrought iron stick rail gates, with the central pair featuring curved braces, and outer pedestrian gates flanked by openwork piers that display a motif of circles. The lodge was built as an entrance to Calke Abbey for Sir Henry Harpur.
