Monument record 2631/1 - Park Lodge (Now Park Lodge Farm)

A mid 19th century house and farm buildings at Park Lodge.

{1} No park is shown on this survey, published 1779, although 'Park Lodge' is labelled.

{2} No park is shown on this survey, published 1827, although as with Eyres Map 'Park Lodge' is labelled.

{3} Park Lodge: parcum de Foderingeya (1230 AD).

{4} In 1713 the lodge is described as Park Lodge Farm, the park having been converted by then to agriculture.

{5} Several buildings shown at Park Lodge in 1814.

{7} The deer park at Fotheringhay was created c. 1230 and may have had a lodge from the beginning. In 1547 the lodge was mainly timber-framed (PRO, E101/463/21). In an agreement made with a new tenant in 1713 it was described as Park Lodge Farm suggesting that some or all of the park had by then been converted to agriculture (NRO, F.H. 286). The farmhouse, barns and probably the W. range of cow sheds appear on the map of 1842 (NRO, 0.160); the cottage adjacent to the farm buildings, and the rear wing of the house are later. The farmhouse, class 8 and roofed with two parallel roofs, has freestone dressings and sash windows. The parlour retains a ceiling with moulded cornice and angle-paterae. The Farm buildings on the W. include a double barn, two ranges of cattle lodges with stables and a row of pig sties.
