Description

Lower Lodge is a tollhouse and gate lodge dating from the mid-19th century. It is constructed of flint with brick dressings and features a slate roof. The building is single storey with a hipped roof and has stacks located at the centre and rear right. There are two round-headed windows with Y-tracery casements, and a boarded door located on the right return within an arched surround, which is set in a gabled porch. The left end of the building has been extended and does not have any windows. Lower Lodge is an earlier and less refined version of Upper Lodge, serving as both a lodge for Nethercourt Park and a turnpike toll house.

Local climate

Lower Lodge sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 87% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 67% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 8 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 94% of listed buildings. Of these, 4 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.
