This building was the gatehouse to a stately home, “Chesterton”, now demolished. It is made of fragments of that building and others.
The building dates from approximately 1807. It was acquired by The Landmark Trust in 1983. The Trust undertook restoration works completed 1983. The architect for this restoration was Philip Jebb and the builders were C Bowman and Sons.
Lynch Lodge is the first picture in my new Sketchbook, Sketchbook 16.
The Lodge is in the midst of countryside which looks as though it is a painting by John Constable.
It’s a wonderful and peaceful place. You can see pictures of the restored interior on their website: https://www.landmarktrust.org.uk/properties/lynch-lodge/
