Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: 19 Jun 2013
An elegant pair at the west approach to Langley Park. By John Soane, 1784, and exhibiting a "calculated economy of design and line that was to become a hallmark of Soane's mature style". Grade II* listed. A 1987 plaque records that the lodges were "purchased and repaired by the Norfolk Historic Buildings Trust with financial assistance from the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission for England, Norfolk County Council and South Norfolk District Council". They appear unused, and disconnected from the house (now a school).
