Lodge to Clapham Park

The West Lodge to Clapham Park, built in 1872 by John Usher of Bedford, is the best preserved of the surviving lodges associated with Clapham Park. It is constructed of dark red brick with stone dressings. The building features a hipped roof made of banded plain and fishscale clay tiles, topped with crested ridge tiles and wrought iron finials. The lodge is designed in a T-plan layout, with a right-hand forward projecting wing that has an apsidal end. It includes narrow sash windows, and there is an open-sided porch located in the angle between the wings, supported by a stone column at the south-west corner.
