Description
The Lodge is a Grade II listed building dating from around 1840. It is a red brick, single-storey former gate lodge to Pishiobury. In sale particulars from 1848, it was described as "The handsome Elizabethan Lodge... recently built... contains four comfortable rooms." The building features scalloped red tile roofs with shaped gables, and white painted stone moulded copings, finials, windows, and label drip moulds. It is aligned parallel to the drive, with a central rear wing of the same height and an elaborate gabled porch at the front, which is central to two windows. The heavy double doors have a pointed head and cusped spandrels within the frame. The porch is topped with a shaped gable that includes a finial and a recessed armorial panel. There is also a small projecting bay on the gable facing the high road to the west. The Lodge is adorned with three tall moulded terra cotta chimneys, contributing to its picturesque appearance.
Local climate
The Lodge sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 92% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 89% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 50% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 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.
