HISTORICAL NOTE: the lodge dates from the rebuilding of Newton
Hall (demolished) while in the occupation of Arthur Lupton
whose family owned the Town's End cloth dressing mill in 1788.
In 1845 Darnton Lupton, mayor of Leeds, described how he had
moved from the polluted air of the town centre to Potternewton
c1840; Arthur's brothers, Francis and Darnton, developed the
grounds S of the hall as a building speculation and the lodge
was cut off from the house by the time Church of St Martin, St
Martin's View (qv) was built, 1879.
