Malmesbury Lodge

Malmesbury Lodge is a former lodge to the Grittleton estate, built around 1840 by J. Thomson for J. Neeld. The building is constructed of squared rubble stone and features a stone slate roof with coped double-shouldered gables. It is 1 1/2 storeys tall and designed in a picturesque Tudor style with a T-plan layout.

Notable architectural features include four clustered moulded stacks on the main ridge and a tall side-wall stack on the east side of the front wing. The lodge has a raised plinth, a moulded string course, and stone mullion windows with hoodmoulds. The projecting south wing contains two-light windows on each floor in the south gable, while the main range has a two-light window over a triangular ground floor bay with a stone slate roof at the west end.

A remarkable square porch is located at the southwest angle, featuring an arched south entry and a high southwest octagonal spirelet that is corbelled out from an octagonal angle shaft. The bell-stage of the spirelet has open arcading all around and is topped with a steep stone-slated octagonal roof. The east end of the lodge has a 20th-century stone-slated link to the original single-storey outbuilding, which has a half-hipped south gable and a first-floor triangular oriel.
