This lodge and No. 1 , Tittenley Lodge flank the beginning of the public road
which passes through Shavington Park (Shavington Hall demolished 1959).
Richard Norman Shaw carried out alterations at Shavington Hall for Arthur
Pemberton Heywood-Lonsdale in 1885-6 but in 1903 Ernest Newton also worked
at the house and probably designed other estate buildings (Nos. 7 and 8
Shavington, Moreton Say C.P. q.v.) and it has been suggested (Dr. Richard
Morrice 1986) that he may have also designed the lodges. Andrew Saint,
