Talk: Small but Perfectly Formed: A History of Entrance Lodges: Dr Victoria Thomson. Saturday 22nd February 2.30pm

Wycombe Lodge, Hughenden Manor             VT

Small But Perfectly Formed: A History of the Entrance Lodge

Entrance lodges are small but distinctive features in the landscape. Historically accommodating a gatekeeper, they stand at the entrance to many an estate, and have often outlasted the parent house. They emerged as a distinct building type in the early eighteenth century, and are characterised by their size, location, subservience to their parent house, functional role, and often disproportionate architectural quality. Despite their prevalence, charm, and visible location, they are often bypassed in the rush to get to the main house (or of course the garden), but they deserve a closer look. This talk explores the history and characteristics of the entrance lodge, with a particular focus on those in Buckinghamshire.
