Statement of Interest

This lodge and gate are listed as part of an A group category including the Lion Gate and the boundary wall which lies around the Wedderburn estate and are of unusually tall and extensive. The lodge is no longer part of the Wedderburn estate, 1995. Stylistically this lodge owes much to the Lion Gate (see separate listing), but this is probably a builder?s interpretation, as the detailing and design is less fine.
