North Lodge And Railings

North Lodge and railings are a lodge and railings built in the late 19th century by T.H. Wyatt. The structure is made of brick with stone dressings and features a slate roof with lead ridges and decorative elements. Designed in the French Renaissance style, it has a central carriage archway with a room above, a pavilion on one side, and a wall on the other, flanked by quadrant railings. The front facing the road includes a central stone round-headed arch with carved spandrels depicting figures in relief, supported by flanking rusticated columns that hold up a scrolled open pediment containing a cartouche.

Behind this, there is a low brick wall at the first floor level, featuring a central stone two-light basket-arched window in a pedimented dormer. The roof is trapezoidal with a lead oval window halfway up, adorned with lead animals on the ridges and wrought iron openwork displaying M shapes at the top and bottom. On the left-hand side, there is a rectangular stone stack with an offset head. Adjacent to this is a wall topped with a large console bracket against the arch, which then sets back and continues to a pier with a finial and additional sections beyond.

On the right-hand side, there is a square plan pavilion with a canted bay that has basket-arched lights and a pierced balustrade. Above this is a stone two-light basket-arched window in an open pedimented dormer, flanked by stone cornices. The pavilion features a French ogee roof with a separate top stage that rises to a finial. To the right, a length of wall extends to a pier with stone finials. The flanking quadrants consist of low walls topped with fleur-de-lys railings. On the opposite side, there is a single-storey wing behind the pavilion, which has a crow-stepped gable adorned with sunflower medallions.
