Tyringham Lodges

Tyringham Lodges, located on the Northampton Road in Lathbury, were built between 1793 and 1797 by Sir John Soane as the entrance screen and lodges to Tyringham House. The structure is made of Roman cement with stone dressings and features string courses. The south or entrance elevation has a segmental architrave with incised lines around the arch, along with a wide band at the springer level that has a single line at the top and an incised reeded moulding at the bottom. This band continues around the flanking wings, forming a cornice string and parapet. The central block is topped with a similar incised moulding and blocking course. The return faces feature single sash windows set in arched recesses, and the soffit of the archway is coffered. Each of the one-storey flanking wings includes a recessed section with a semi-circular headed niche next to the central block, and outer pavilions that slightly project, each containing one sash window flanked by plain Greek Doric columns in antis. The north front mirrors this design, but instead of windows in the pavilions, there are 6-panelled flush doors, and a sash window replaces the niche.
