Description
The Tudor Lodge is a lodge built around 1840 by A.W.N. Pugin, designed in the Tudor Gothic style. It is constructed of ashlar stone featuring edged herringbone tooling and has a fishscale tile roof with plain tile bands and coped verges, along with ashlar ridge stacks. The building is two storeys high and has three bays; the left bay is gabled, while the right bay is a single storey with a lower ridge line.
The windows are flat arch chamfered mullioned types, with lights that have 4-centred heads and panelled spandrels adorned with carved foliage. The ground-floor windows consist of two lights, while the central window on the first floor has three lights. There are single-light windows on the first floor to the left, flanking a larger panel that displays a coat of arms, all beneath a stepped and returned hood mould. To the left, there is a 4-centred carriage arch with a moulded arch and hood mould that terminates in animal heads. The Tudor Lodge served as the entrance to Alton Towers.
