Description
South Lodge to Mendip Hospital is a lodge built around 1845 by architects G G Scott and W B Moffatt. Constructed from coursed and squared rubble, it features a slate roof with ogee-shaped gables and freestone dressings, along with ashlar stacks. The building is designed in the Tudor style and has an L-plan layout, with each wing topped by a front-facing gable.
The first floor has single bay, 2-light moulded stone mullioned and transomed windows with hoods and scrolly pediments. The ground floor includes bay windows, with the left bay canted under a stone roof and the right bay square with a strapwork parapet. Both bays have stone mullioned and transomed windows.
At the angle between the wings, there is a tower porch featuring a single light transomed window on each face of the first floor, topped with an ogee-shaped lead roof and finial. The ground floor has two openings with 4-centred heads, a later half-glazed door, and a later 9-pane casement. Some windows retain their original iron casements with diamond-paned lights, although most have been replaced with later plain casements.
This lodge is part of an important group of buildings that includes Mendip Hospital and the chapel.
