Around the outside of the Lodge is a freize that is 33ft long and has 33 letters along it so as you can see, the number 3 plays an important factor in this building.
Previously known at The Warryners Lodge, it was originally used by a keeper who would of been in charge of the keeping of the rabbits and the pidgeons that were once there.
If you look closely at the 3 sided chimney you should see the date 1595 which is when the chimney was constructed.
The outside of the building is heaped with religious meaning so if you are not an expert in this area then it may be worth while taking someone who is with you to decipher all the hidden meanings. A camera should most definately be on your list of things to take to this site as there is plenty of detail on the building that you are sure to miss and with the aid of some photos you will see the bits you missed.
In contrast to the fancifull exterior, the inside of the Lodge is fairly bland and ordinary with very little detail, so don't expect to see anything too exciting on the inside. There is a spiral staircase which you can use to navigate your way around the 3 floors.
From what I have found out on the Internet, there is apparently an underground passage way beneath the Lodge, but on my visit I could see no evidence of its existence. From what I gather, the passage way is haunted with reports of rewards being offered for anyone who rid the passage way of the evit spirit that was haunting it...
