Description
North Lodge at Oscott College is a lodge built in 1838 by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin. It is constructed of brick with a tile roof and features stone surrounds around the window and door openings.
The lodge has a rectangular plan, with its public facade facing roughly north. The external gate is set within a deeply-moulded stone surround and is flanked by buttresses on either side. The timber gates are adorned with ironwork. Above the gates, there is a stringcourse and two windows, each with two lights and mouchette tracery, both featuring hoodmoulds. Between the windows is an ornate niche containing a carved figure of the Virgin Mary, with a carved angel figure at the base and a pedestal for the statue above. Posts on either side support a cusped hood, which is decorated with carved ballflowers leading up to an ornately carved finial. There are three crosses incorporated into the brickwork above.
The elevation facing the college grounds includes a large traceried window above the carriage arch, flanked by the initials 'TW' in the brickwork on each side. The lower wing to the west features paired windows in square surrounds on each floor.
Inside, access to the lodge is through a door located within the carriage arch. The interior includes a plain timber stair with chamfered newel posts and some original doors. The large room above the arch has an exposed timber truss at its center.
