Abstract: |
PDP Green Consulting Ltd were commissioned by Sir Ferrers Vyvyan to undertake assessments and surveys leading to the restoration of the Grade II listed Double Lodges at the south entrance of the Trelowarren Estate near Helston. The Double Lodges complex, constructed in the mid-18th century, is located at NGR SW 71715 22697. Whilst PDP Green undertook the structural survey, Cornwall Archaeological Unit was subcontracted to carry out an historic building survey and assessment and Cornwall Environmental Consulting Ltd was subcontracted to carry out a bat survey. The works were undertaken in advance of proposed repair and consolidation to stabilise and protect the structures, as part of a Higher Level Stewardship agreement entered into by Sir Ferrers Vyvyan with Natural England. The Double Lodges complex is designed to be perfectly symmetrical and lies at the southern entrance to the Trelowarren Estate. It includes two octagonal lodge buildings (the north-west lodge designed as a kitchen/living room and the south-east lodge designed as a bed chamber), adjoining flanking walls forming a semi-circle which terminates with piers at the roadside and three (formerly four) gate piers located between the two lodges. The entrance forms part of a major remodelling of the house and pleasure grounds undertaken by Sir Richard Vyvyan in the 1750s. The gate piers are likely to be replacements, erected here in c1833 (possibly having been salvaged from Nanswhydden House after it burnt down). |
