Description

Star Lodge is an entrance lodge belonging to Woburn Abbey, built between 1810 and 1812 for John, the 6th Duke of Bedford. The building is small, single-storeyed, and rectangular, constructed of stucco with a slate roof. The nil elevation features a central projecting bay with a pediment, which includes a tripartite sash window with glazing bars. On either side of this central block are open porches, each with simply moulded entablatures that match the central bay. Each porch is supported by two Tuscan columns and two pilasters, and each porch leads to a doorway that opens onto the central pedimented block, featuring part-glazed panelled doors. A stuccoed multiple ridge stack is present on the roof.

Local climate

Star Lodge sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 84% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 84% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 54% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
