Description

Bottom Lodge at Bryn Eisteddfod is a small lodge built in 1833 for the Venerable Hugh Chambres Jones, Archdeacon of Essex, to serve his house Bryn Eisteddfod. It is designed in a simple Tudor style and constructed of limestone ashlar. The lodge features coped gable parapets on steeply-pitched slate roofs, with a central stack that has paired, offset chimneys. The building is roughly L-shaped, with a gabled cross-wing that projects slightly to the right and a narrower gabled porch that steps down from this.

The entrance includes a chamfered Tudor-arched opening with a contemporary studded door, and above it is an inset chamfered plaque inscribed with "HCJ" (for Hugh Chambres Jones) and the date 1833. There are plain 2-light mullioned windows on the northeast gable and northwest side, which have splayed reveals, as well as a plain slit window at the gable apex. The southwest gable end features a canted single-storey bay with plain glazing and a stone roof. There is a small modern extension at the southern corner. The interior was not inspected during the survey in October 1995.
