(c.1773-1855) who altered the main house 1825-6. Lodge extended to E in
matching style. Plum brick with blue headers, sandstone blocks
incorporated in gate piers, and moulded stucco window dressings. E
extension in plum brick with band of black brick at base. Steep red tile
roofs. Boarded doors between gate piers. Irregular, 2-storeys,
Elizabethan style lodge linked by 3M high wall with small gate to pair

4 diagonally set square shafts with corbelled heads, 4-centred Tudor
arch in plaster to single-storey gabled porch on W outside park. Canted
stone bay window on N side within park. Extension in form of 2-storeys
crosswing with matching moulded gable parapets and lower gabled parts

chamfered and ovolo-moulded frames, and metal opening lights. Earlier
parts have moulded stone gutters ending as gargoyles at gable parapets.
Depressed 2-centred pointed stone arch to side gate with characteristic
impost blocks of 3 stepped projections to side. Each gatepier formed of
a taller rectangular brick pier 'rusticated' by projecting narrower
