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.
