South Lodge to Langleys
Image: © Tiger Taken: 26 Dec 1978
The lodge at the entrance to the park on the Chelmsford Road was built around 1719 by Samuel Tufnell, the new owner of the property, and his wife Elizabeth Cressener, As Pevsner points out, the pedimented design displaying the Image imitates the main house Image in miniature. Compare with the much simpler Image An anachronistic note, jarring with this early Georgian elegance, is struck by the two aerials on the roof: on the left, Band II (for VHF radio), apparently aligned with the Wrotham transmitter in Kent, and to the right a UHF TV aerial probably looking at Crystal Palace. In a more recent view Image these have been removed and only a discreet flagpole (or perhaps a disguised digital antenna?) rises from the roofline.
