Pair Of Lodges With Attached Walls At The North Entrance To Lanhydrock Park

The pair of lodges with attached walls at the north entrance to Lanhydrock Park likely dates from the late 18th century, with enlargements made around the early to mid-19th century and few later alterations. They are constructed from granite ashlar and slatestone rubble, featuring hipped slate roofs and outer stacks with rubble shafts. Originally, the lodges were a symmetrical pair of one-room plans with a gateway between them, each heated from an outer stack and with entrances on the inner sides. Around 1840, a one-room addition was added to the outer side of each lodge, also heated from the outer side.

Each lodge is two stories tall and symmetrical, with a plinth and a large recessed blind arch supported by pilasters and imposts. The pilasters and spandrels of the arch are made of ashlar, while the rear is in rubble masonry. Both the ground and first floors feature a 2-light casement window with a 4-centred arch, Y-tracery, and a relieving arch. The smaller two-story additions on each side also have similar 2-light casements on both floors.

The central gateway is flanked by engaged square granite piers, with an inner pair of square granite piers featuring panels and pyramidal caps, standing about 1.5 meters high. This creates a central carriage gateway, with pedestrian gateways on each side that have 20th-century wooden gates. Each lodge has a short section of rubble wall swept forward on the outer side, topped with granite coping and square terminal piers in granite ashlar with pyramidal caps. The inner side of each lodge includes a 4-centred arched doorway with a plank door and a relieving arch, as well as a blind 4-centred arched window on the first floor. At the rear, each lodge has the same 2-light casement at both levels and a 4-centred arched plank door. Additionally, there is a small single-storey service room addition on the outer side of each lodge, likely from the late 19th century. The interior has not been inspected.
