HISTORY: Binyon, an Ipswich-based architect, exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1887 and 1895, and was responsible for works to Stanmore Hall, formerly Robert Hollond's home. Hollond was a sometime MP and renowned as a baloonist. The original purpose of this lodge is unclear: it is thought to have housed the parish clerk. Listed as a fine example of a highly picturesque essay in the Arts and Crafts Revivalist style.
