Description
Shrewsbury Lodge is an entrance lodge built around 1815-1820 by Edward Haycock of Shrewsbury for John Wingfield. It is constructed from rendered brick with grey sandstone ashlar dressings and features a slate roof. The building has a cruciform plan and is designed in a Greek Revival style, standing at one storey high. It has a continuous frieze and overhanging eaves, with a central rendered square ridge stack that has a moulded stone cornice. The facade is arranged in a 1:3:1 bay pattern, with windows that have stone cills (which were boarded at the time of the survey in January 1987).
The central feature is a three-bay Doric portico with two columns in antis, although one of the columns was found in fragments on the ground nearby during the survey. The portico includes an entablature and a triangular pediment, with a six-panelled door located behind it. The end walls each have a single window and triangular pedimented gables. The interior was not inspected.
This lodge was previously the main entrance to Onslow Hall, which was also built around 1815-1820 by Edward Haycock in the Greek Revival style and was demolished around 1957. The stable block, garden wall, and attached dovecote from the original estate still survive.
