Full Record - Norton St Philip, Lodge Farm
| Location | Norton St Philip, Lodge Farm, Somerset |
|---|---|
| Grid reference | ST 797 581 |
| Description | Lodge Farm is a house with a complex plan involving periods of build from the 15th to the 18th centuries. Originally it was a modest stone and timber framed building which may have combined the functions of a garden pavilion or banquet house perhaps with secondary use as a lookout for deer and other game within Farleigh Hungerford Castle Park. Later it was converted to domestic usage, perhaps accommodating the Falconer, and it finally became a farmhouse. Tree ring dating of the roof has produced a felling date 1491-1523 for the initial structure (possibly also covering a second phase). |
