Oddfellows Hall (Prince Albert Lodge)

The Oddfellows Hall, also known as Prince Albert Lodge, is a small, slightly skewed red brick building dating to the 1870s and likely designed by Sir Aston Webb. It is situated on a bend of Bratton Road, opposite Bere's Well. The building has a stone plinth, quoins, and a band halfway up the gable. It features a tile roof with sprocket eaves and a plain bargeboard, with a crested ridge. The gable end has stone quoins and a central four-light mullion and transom window with herringbone infill to the half-timbered gable. A blocked entrance is present at pavement level, leading to a lower ground floor, featuring a stone lintel with a segmental, intrados-pointed-extrados relieving arch. An extension to the right has an entrance with a stilted pointed arch and label above, and a narrow quoined window to the right. Below the main window is an intricate shield with symbolic devices including an hour glass, cross keys, a bee-hive, a lamb and flag, a cross with a rose, an orb encircled by the word "Britain," and a palm with an inset heart. The west front has stone dressings and a central wall stack. There are two windows with two lights above the plinth, and two- and three-light windows on the ground floor, with a doorway to the right.
