De Vaux Lodge

No. 9, De Vaux Lodge, originally formed part of the College de Valle, founded in 1261 by Bishop Giles Bridport as a theological college, which continued at that location until the Dissolution. During the mid-18th century, it was rebuilt as a separate house. The building is two storeys, constructed of red brick with a projecting moulded plinth and full-height flanking Doric brick pilasters. It features a moulded brick triglyph frieze and a stone cornice that is broken forward over the pilasters, topped with a plain parapet. The fenestration is symmetrical, with three windows on each floor. The ground floor windows have segmental heads, while the first floor windows are sash windows with intact glazing bars, all featuring keystones. Shaped brick aprons are present beneath the first floor windows. The central doorway features six fielded panels within a projecting brick surround of Doric pilasters and a cornice. A two-storey brick extension was added to the right-hand side in 1928. The interior has few early features, with the notable exception of reset 17th and 18th century panelling taken from 47 Winchester Street. No. 9 is an important building within a group that includes Nos. 6 and 8, St Nicholas's Road.
