Dan'S Lodge

Dan's Lodge is a ruinous warrener's lodge and park folly, dating from the late 18th century, built after Capability Brown created designs around 1770 for a landscape park for Henry Herbert, 1st Lord Carnarvon. The structure is made of rendered brick and has a triangular plan with large polygonal turrets at each corner. The east wall between the turrets has collapsed, leaving the building roofless. It is designed in the Gothick style, featuring an embattled parapet on one bay between the turrets. The southwest side has a pointed two-centred arch doorway with a blind quatrefoil above, while the north side has blocked pointed arch windows on each floor. The large polygonal corner turrets include angle shafts, blind lancets, and top stages adorned with snarl roundels and cornices. Parts of the top stages of the northeast and southeast turrets, as well as the east wall between, have also collapsed. The interior is missing both floors and the roof.
