Description

Border Archaeology carried out a Level 2 Archaeological Building Recording on behalf of West Northamptonshire Council in connection with the proposed refurbishment and alteration of the Gatehouse (Delapre Lodge). These proposed refurbishment works are being carried out to create offices and a meeting room for Far Cotton and Delapré Community Council. The results found that the building represents a good example of an 18th century park lodge which, in terms of the external historic form and fabric, survives virtually intact, apart from the addition of a modern extension on the north elevation built in 1980 of ashlar masonry.
