Minster Lodge

Minster Lodge is a former prebendal house of Norwell Overhall, now functioning as a house. The front range was built around 1784 for Susanna Clay and incorporates parts of a 14th-century and a 17th-century house in the rear wing. There is a late 19th-century addition at the east return angle. The building is constructed of brick with slate and pantile roofs, while the 14th-century remains are made of coursed rubble. The front elevation features a single coped gable with cogged eaves on both the front and rear wings, and it has two gable stacks and one ridge stack. The front is two storeys high with five windows, all fitted with glazing bar sashes, flat arches, and slatted shutters; the ground floor windows are taller than those above. The rear addition is also two storeys with three windows and has a plain doorcase on the left side. The rear wing, which is two storeys and has three windows, includes a section of 14th-century wall approximately 2 meters high on the north and east sides. The east side features an off-centre 14th-century double lancet window with a flat head, while the west side shows part of a 17th-century wall post. This building is one of the nine remaining prebendal houses that were formerly associated with Southwell Minster.
