L-shape plan.

There is a similar arch to the right of that, in the adjoining Abbot's Court (qv). The main building is at a right-angle to the lane, facing which, on the left return (west), is an C18 Ham Hill stone Tuscan-style doorcase, re-positioned in 1913; the door is c1860, 4-panel with overlight. The brick rear wing, with a large boarded-up window, is connected by a wall, with a doorway under a stone lintel, to the next house to the north; the lintel and the quoin, are of Ham Hill stone. INTERIOR not inspected. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: a high limestone rubble wall, with wooden planked gate close to the lodge, runs along the lane to the right, enclosing part of Abbot's Court (qv) garden and is included in that description. HISTORY: In 1858, Captain John Hanning Speke, of Dillington House and member of the lodge, contemporary of Burton, Stanley and Livingstone, in searching for the source of the Nile, claimed he had found it in Lake Nyanza and named it Victoria N'yanza.
