Prior Park Lodge

Prior Park Lodge is a lodge located at the main entrance to Prior Park, likely built between 1829 and 1836 as part of improvements by H.E. Goodridge for Bishop Baines. The lodge is constructed from limestone ashlar and features a slate roof. It is positioned to the left of the main gatepiers and is connected by boundary walling. The building has a broad frontage facing the road and displays gabled ends with closed pediments.

The lodge is two storeys high and has two windows, each consisting of small triple lights with six-pane casements and flat flush stone mullions. The central entrance features a plank door with a blind balustrade above and a sunken square panel. A plat band runs at first floor level, and a moulded sill band is present under the first-floor windows, both of which continue around the returns. The low pitched roof has a central ridge stack and broad coped gables with moulded pediments, along with a front moulded eaves band that returns to the closed pediments.

The left return of the lodge has blind lights at the centre on each level, while the right return has no lights. A coped wall with a plank door featuring a segmental head and keystone connects to the main gateway on the right. The rear of the lodge has not been inspected. This lodge appears to be later than the other lodges associated with Prior Park, which were built at the same time as the main house, and it shares several design features with other works by Goodridge.
