‘(8) LODGE (609903), standing 1½ m. N.E. of Bride Head in the parish of Little Bredy, of one storey with walls of Portland stone ashlar and a slate-covered roof, was built c. 1837, probably to the designs of P. F. Robinson, and later extended to the S. It is designed in a castellated style (Plate 58), similar to Bride Head (fn. 1) which it serves; the plan is square with projecting angles, those facing the carriageway rising above the embattled parapets to form miniature turrets with blind cross-loops and arrow-slits.’
