Number 1, Tittenley Lodge

Number 1, Tittenley Lodge is an entrance lodge built in 1885, attributed to Richard Norman Shaw but possibly designed by W.R. Lethaby. The building is constructed from 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 lodge showcases chamfered quoins and a moulded dentil eaves cornice with a blocking course. A central brick stack with a stone base, flush stone quoins, and stone coping is topped with globe corner finials. The first floor includes a small-paned Diocletian window with a two-light casement and a gauged-brick head. To the left, there is an off-centre half-glazed door with two panels—one lower beaded flush and one upper moulded recessed—accompanied by a small square window to the right.

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. Each return front features 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. The rear has a first-floor Diocletian window but has had 20th-century ground-floor windows inserted.

At the back, there is a walled garden enclosure with moulded stone coping and an end pier topped with a stone cap. The interior of the lodge has not been inspected. This lodge and Number 2, Tittenley Lodge flank the start 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 in 1885-1886, 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.
