Number 2, Tittenley Lodge

Number 2, Tittenley Lodge is an entrance lodge built in 1885, attributed to Richard Norman Shaw but possibly designed by W.R. Lethaby. The lodge is constructed of finely-jointed orange brick with yellow and grey sandstone ashlar dressings, and features a pyramidal lead roof. It has a square plan and is designed in the Neo-Georgian style, standing two storeys tall.

The building showcases chamfered quoins and a moulded dentil eaves cornice with a blocking course. A central brick stack with a stone base is complemented by flush stone quoins and stone coping adorned with globe corner finials. The first floor includes a small-paned Diocletian window with a two-light casement and a gauged-brick head. The entrance features an off-centre half-glazed door to the right, which has two panels—one lower beaded flush and one upper moulded recessed—and a small square window to the left.

A wide flat porch supported by deep shaped brackets (with later supports) leads up to the door via five stone steps, flanked by coped low walls. The return fronts each have a first-floor Diocletian window above a ground-floor Venetian window, which consists of small-paned lights divided by brick piers, a stone cill, and a gauged brick head with a moulded dripstone or cornice. At the rear, there is a garden wall with moulded coping. The interior of the lodge has not been inspected.

This lodge, along with Number 1, Tittenley Lodge, marks the beginning of the public road that runs through Shavington Park, where Shavington Hall was demolished in 1959. Richard Norman Shaw made alterations to Shavington Hall for Arthur Pemberton Heywood-Lonsdale between 1885 and 1886, and in 1903, Ernest Newton also worked on the house and likely designed other estate buildings. It has been suggested that he may have also designed the lodges, according to Dr. Richard Morrice in 1986.
