Yarnbury Lodge

Yarnbury Lodge is a house built in the mid-19th century, constructed from coursed squared gritstone that has been painted, with a grey slate roof. The building is two storeys high and features three bays with square quoins. The central entrance has a panelled door set within a plain surround, flanked by 16-pane sash windows with margin lights, also in plain surrounds. On the first floor, there are three additional 16-pane sashes. The exterior includes stone gutter brackets, a kneeler, and gable coping on the left side, as well as end stacks. Although the interior was not inspected during the resurvey, the masonry of Yarnbury Lodge is similar to that of the Count house, suggesting that both buildings are likely part of the development related to the lead mining industry in the mid-19th century. Yarnbury Lodge is believed to have been the residence of Captain Barratt or Stephen Eddy, who were mineral agents for the Duke of Devonshire at that time. Lead production in the area peaked in 1850 but declined rapidly between 1857 and 1877, marking the end of underground mining in the region.
