Description

Hannah More Lodge is a country house lodge dated 1883, which may be a remodelling of an earlier lodge by Henry Woodyer. It is constructed from rock-faced pink stone with freestone dressings and features a clay plain tile roof with gable ends that have chamfered stone verges and eaves; the south-west and north-west gables are rendered. The lodge has large rendered axial stacks with narrow recessed panels and cusped heads.

The building is rectangular in plan and designed in the Tudor Domestic Revival style. The exterior is two storeys high, with an asymmetrical south-east front that includes a broad gable on the left, featuring a diamond-shaped tablet inscribed with the year 1883. There are two 2-light stone mullion windows on the first floor, and below them is a plank door with strap-hinges. To the right is another 2-light window and a loggia porch with a canopy supported on stone posts, situated between very large broad pilaster-like buttresses that rise almost to the eaves. The right wall jetties out at the first floor level on stone corbels, above a small single-light ground floor window.

At the rear (north-west), the first floor on the left similarly jetties out over a back doorway that has a plank door with strap-hinges, a shallow pentice roof, stone frame windows on the ground floor, and a stone oriel above on corbel brackets. The interior has not been inspected. This lodge is noted for its unusual Tudor Domestic Revival style and is one of a series of Victorian lodges at Tyntesfield.
