Description
The Lodge is a lodge built in the 1820s, constructed from flint with gault brick dressings and a slate roof. It is a single-storey building with a brick plinth. To the left of the central arched doorway, which features a hollow hood moulding, there is a canted bay. The central bay contains a similar door adorned with Gothick intersecting tracery beneath a clock. On either side of the central door, there are Y traceried arched casements that continue along the west range. A painted cross mullioned brick casement, which is likely from the 1870s, is located under an ovolu pediment to the right of the central door. A similar window can be found on the east gable. The building has a dentiled eaves cornice beneath gabled roofs, which feature bargeboards on the east side. There are also a pair of octagonal twin-shafted stacks over the west range.
Local climate
The 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 98% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 65% 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.
