Guildford Lodge, Including Horsley Gallery

Guildford Lodge, including the Horsley Gallery, is a lodge dating to around 1860, designed by the First Earl of Lovelace. The building is constructed of random brick rubble with red and blue brick dressings and terracotta decoration to the upper storeys. It has conical roofs with plain tiles, topped with ribbed lead. The lodge features a central carriage archway with a room above, flanked by circular towers. Curved entrance walls connect to 4-stage towers, with a pentice course of tiles over the lower stage. Details include machicolations, an oval lozenge panel band to the first stage, quilloche and terracotta plaques over the arcade on the second stage, and machicolations to the top stage. Windows are casements with one oval light to the ground and first stages, arched windows in roll-moulded brick surrounds to the second stage, and trefoil-headed lancets to the top stage within complicated, deep brick surrounds, with some tile edge finishing. A cambered head casement is located centrally on the first floor, beneath a balustrade, above an arched, rib-vaulted passage with windows on the inner side. A curved quadrant wing extends to the front left, with a slate roof and cambered head windows, one with splayed sides. A gallery extension to the left incorporates a half-glazed door, while a further door is located to the rear of the right-hand return front.
