Peace Lodge

Peace Lodge, originally built as the lodge to Saffron Walden Cemetery in 1857, is now a house designed by architect James Pigott Pritchett. The building is constructed of ragstone with ashlar dressings and features a fishscale slate roof with terracotta cresting. It has yellow stock brick shafts for the rear wall and axial ridge stacks. The architectural style is Gothic, and the lodge consists of a one bay range with a cross-wing to the right and a porch at the angle.

The gabled porch has a steeply pitched roof and an entrance with a segmental pointed arch, leading to a vertically boarded door. To the left of the porch, there is a window with three trefoil lights, and above it, a gabled wall-dormer features a two-light mullion window with a segmental pointed head. The cross-wing includes a ground floor canted bay window with four trefoiled lights and a first-floor window with three lights that have shouldered arches.

The gables are adorned with fleur-de-lys finials, ashlar copings, moulded kneelers, and slit windows. There is a single angle buttress on the front of the right side wall. The side and rear windows have trefoil lights on the ground floor and a mullioned window on the first floor, with the gables detailed similarly to the front.
