Full Description

The stones of the Castil were fetched as sum say, to make the fair lodge in Wyrksoppe Parke not yet finished. This Erle of Shrewsbyri's Father was aboute to have finished hit, as apperith by much hewyd stone lying there. (1)
Lodge Farm is a 5 storey private residence, built in C16 style, entirely of stone, with ashlar dressings. Including many original features. The plan of the house is unusual in being in the form of a cross, the N and S wings being short, but of the same height as the principal block, giving the house a very lofty appearance. (4)
Outstanding. (5)
Originally a lodge to the C16 Worksop Manor. Possibly a hunting or guest lodge. The ingenious plan suggests that Robert Smythson, who built the manor, was also responsible for the lodge. There must have been at least one more [storey], for the main staircase breaks off suddenly in the attic under a later gabled roof. Simple chamfered stone doorcases and fireplaces. (6)
Named 'Lodge Farm'. (7)
Designed by R Smythson. 1585-97 (late in period likely). (8)
See M4370 for Worksop Manor, M5359 for deer park.
