Description
Entrance lodges to Trentham Park of 1803-1813, designed by Charles Heathcote Tatham. They were originally located in front of the west facade of Trentham Hall and were moved to their present location in the 1920s.
MATERIALS: the entrance lodges are constructed of heavily rusticated ashlar.
PLAN: the lodges are square in plan with a connecting screen and gates which is recessed between the lodges.
EXTERIOR: the two lodges are identical and comprise of walls with a plinth, surmounted by a base and pier. The plinth is chamfered. The walls are heavily rusticated and have a round-headed window to each of the four sides. Some of these openings have been blocked up. A string course runs around the lodges at the level of the key stones. On top of the lodge room, there is a three stepped base to a square pier. Another three steps top the pier. On the southern pier, there is an iron pole suggestive of previous ornamentation.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: the railings between the lodges are post 1930.
