Description

Wills Hall Warden's Lodge is a house built in the late 19th century, constructed from Ham Hill and Bath limestone ashlar, with coursed Pennant and a Welsh slate gabled roof. It features a double-depth plan and is connected to the north corner of Wills Hall. Designed in the Tudor Revival style, the building has two storeys and irregular fenestration arranged in four blocks.

The entrance porch, located second from the right, is flanked by octagonal turrets and features a Tudor-arched door with foliate spandrels beneath a seven-light rectangular overlight. Above this, there is a three-light window on the first floor and traceried sunken panels. To the right of the porch, a parapeted block includes two-centred arched cross windows and a corbelled chimney, with a canted bay between turrets on the right return. To the left of the porch, there is a shouldered gable with a five-light bay topped with decorative finials, and further left, a block with a three-light ground-floor window and three pointed windows with stilted labels.

Inside, the lodge features a large hall and an open-well staircase leading to a first-floor hall illuminated by a tall octagonal lantern. The interior includes Tudor-arched doorways with moulded columns and small capitals, doors with Perpendicular tracery panels, and a panelled billiard room that has a built-in scoreboard and an Elizabethan-style plaster ceiling.
