Lanesborough Lodge — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey school with gabled projecting central porch, built c.1845, having single-bay two-storey master's house to end gable. Now in ruins. Roof no longer extant. Red brick chimneystacks. Dressed limestone walls with ashlar sandstone dressings to square-headed window, segmental-arched door, and lancet openings.

Built in the mid nineteenth century for Henry Cavendish Butler, Earl of Lanesborough, this school is an interesting reminder of the educational provisions which landlords made for tenants' and estate worker's children. Though now in ruins, it retains much of its historic character and form. It forms part of a significant group of related structures, that includes the gate lodge and church, as well as other more minor buildings, which were built to serve this estate in the past, and is a reminder of the scale and grandeur of the demesne.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
