Hartham Park is now a business park and conference centre, and very impressive it is too. The fine Georgian mansion that sits at the heart of the park has already been photographed http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/56548 but this is the first photograph on this site that shows the lodge at the entrance. It is listed Grade II in its own right. Its listing reads: 'CORSHAM CROSS KEYS ST 87 SE 1/117 No 6 (The Lodge) GV II Lodge to Hartham Park, dated 1892, squared rubble with slate low pitched eaves roof with brackets to eaves.
