Description
The Lower Lodge to Newark Park, built in the 1790s by James Wyatt, is located at the south end of the ride through the grounds of Newark Park. It features a roughcast exterior on a chamfered stone plinth at the front and has a hipped slate roof. The lodge is a small, two-storey structure with lateral stone stacks, one of which has two polygonal flues with moulded caps on the left, while the right side has a 20th-century rendered square section flue.
The lodge has three windows arranged in a 3/2/3-light configuration, with stone mullions and latticed pointed arched lights topped by square hoodmoulds. The ground floor includes a central projecting castellated square porch flanked by two 3-light windows, with a square hoodmould serving as the base for the castellations at the front and returning as a dripmould over small pointed arch hollow moulded single lights on each side wall. The outer archway is Tudor in style, leading to an inner door composed of six fielded panels topped with a shallow radial fanlight. The mullions and archway are all hollow moulded, and internal shutters are still present. While the interior is not accessible, it may hold interest.
Attached to the right are a pair of square gatepiers, with an additional outer half pier linked to the house on the left and the estate wall on the right. These gatepiers feature two single pedestrian gates and one central double gate, all designed with simple two-tier wrought iron work. The piers exhibit alternating chamfered rustication and vermiculated blocks, topped with a fluted frieze above roll moulding and flattened pyramidal caps, standing approximately 3 meters high.
