Description
Drayton Lodge is a ruined "plaisance" dating from the early 15th century, constructed of soft pale red brick. It has a rectangular plan and was originally two storeys high, featuring drum towers at each corner. The brickwork is in English bond and shows patches of 16th-century brick on the north and south faces. The drum towers have slit windows, with arches over the internal splayed reveals. The remains of former arched entrances can be seen from the drums leading into the interior.
On the south wall, there is a central door opening with a four-centred arch, accompanied by a window opening to its west. Above this, three slit windows are present, all with splayed internal reveals. The west wall contains the remains of a fireplace with a tapered flue above, which now has a later doorway. There is also evidence of seating for a transverse first-floor beam in the south wall, and some small areas of plaster remain. The building is designated as a scheduled ancient monument and is graded II* for its early brickwork.
