Statement of Interest

Eustace Balfour worked in partnership with Thackeray

Turner of the SPAB, and trained in London with Basil

Champneys. Balfour executed several other works on the

Estate, but as he died on 14 February 1911, the lodge

was possibly designed solely by Turner. The boat-shaped

dormers on Tower Cottage nearby (listed separately), evidence

a similar Arts and Craft input.
