The West Berkshire Historic Environment Record (HER) is the primary index of the physical remains of past human activity in the unitary authority of West Berkshire Council. Limited elements of the West Berkshire HER are available online via the Heritage Gateway, therefore it is not suitable for use in desk-based studies associated with development, planning and land-use changes, and does not meet the requirements of paragraph 194 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021: 56). Please read
the important guidance on the use of the West Berkshire HER data. For these purposes and all other commercial enquiries, please contact the Archaeology team and complete our

Monument Type(s):
- GATE LODGE (Late 19th century - 1879 AD to 1881 AD)
Full Description
The Grade II listed gate lodge was built in brick with stone dressings by Norman Shaw in 1879-81 <1><2>. It has a stone archway over the entrance between two gables. The roof is tiled with two stone coped gables with ball finials.
A small square lodge is shown on the First Edition Ordnance Survey mapping of 1880-81 but on a different footprint to the extant building <3>. The western gateway into the estate is about 500m to the southwest of the original large building named Greenham Lodge; this was also redesigned by Shaw between 1879-83 . The Second Epoch of 1899 <4> therefore maps these alterations.
