Entrance Lodge, North West Of Manfield Orthopaedic Hospital

The Entrance Lodge, located northwest of Manfield Orthopaedic Hospital, is a gateway lodge built in 1901 by Charles Dorman for James Manfield, a shoe manufacturer from Northampton. It is constructed from dressed ironstone with limestone dressings and features a hipped stone tile roof with exposed rafter ends beneath deep eaves. A large axial stack rises from the apex of the roof, adorned with ashlar shafts and a cornice.

The lodge is square in plan and faces the entrance to the drive. It is a single storey with an attic and has a two-bay front. To the right, there is a five-light stone bow window, while to the left, a three-centred moulded arch doorway is flanked by a side light. Above the doorway, there is a three-light stone mullion attic window with a datestone in a large gabled half dormer. Additionally, there are half-dormers on both the left and right sides, and the windows are metal frame leaded pane casements set in stone frames. The interior has not been inspected.
