Description
Knights Lodge Public House is a building that originated as a hunting lodge, later becoming a farmhouse, and is now a public house. It was remodeled in the mid-18th century and dates back to the mid-17th century. The structure is made of squared coursed and regular coursed limestone, topped with a Collyweston slate roof.
Originally designed with a three-unit plan, the building has two storeys and features a four-window range of 19th-century casements with ashlar dressings and gauged stone heads. To the left of the center, there is a 19th-century gabled porch with an arched opening and a 20th-century door. The building has ashlar gable parapets and ashlar stacks with moulded cornices at the ridge and ends. The main front shows evidence of two construction phases, while the right gable has a blocked window opening and a 20th-century lean-to porch.
On the rear elevation, there is a central gabled staircase projection that includes a three-light stone mullion window on the first floor and a two-light stone mullion attic window. A partially legible 17th-century datestone can be found in the apex, and the rear left side has been remodeled in the 20th century.
Inside, the room to the left features an open fireplace with a bressumer, while the room to the right has a 17th-century style fireplace with a four-centred head. Some ceiling beams are stop-chamfered. A late 17th-century or early 18th-century staircase with a heavy barley twist balustrade surrounds an open well. The building was originally known as Beanfield Lawn.
