Known as the Welsh Lodge (though still in England), at the south-west entrance to Loton Park. By Thomas Jones, 1832, in a Tudor-Gothic style. It is spikier than its English counterpart, with lots of finials, but the materials are the same - Alberbury breccia and red sandstone. (According to Wikipedia, "breccia is a rock composed of broken fragments of minerals or rock cemented together by a fine-grained matrix".) Grade II listed. The English Lodge can be seen here: Image
