Description
A pair of lodges, including gates and piers, for Sennowe Park were built between 1905 and 1908 by G. Skipper. They are constructed of brick with ashlar dressings, featuring some timber framing and tile hanging, and topped with slate roofs. The lodges are nearly identical and designed in Baroque style, flanking the drive and connected by main gates with an overthrow and pedestrian gates.
The lodges are two and three storeys tall, with taller central blocks that have attached towers on each lodge, topped with copper-covered cupolas supported by open Tuscan colonnades forming octagons. The front and drive-side facades feature two-storey canted bays with stone mullion and transom windows that have leaded lights. The central blocks have parapets with curved crenellations, animal finials, and heraldry, along with elaborate lead rainwater pipes and hoppers. The lower parts project outward and to the rear, featuring steeply pitched roofs. The rear wings have jettied timber-framed upper floors that are tile hung. Each lodge has three chimney stacks.
The square-sectioned ashlar gate piers have coved niches and cartouches above that bear shields. They feature dentil cornices with heraldic beasts mounted on gadrooned bases. Each pier is flanked by two pairs of semicircular-headed pedestrian entrances with elaborate ironwork gates. The main gates are equally elaborate, featuring scrolled overthrows.
