links rear of house to rear service quarters of mansion, 1

Glassaugh Lodge presents difficulties of dating and
interpretation. The regular fenestration with chamfered
window margins is of 18th century date, the hipped stacks
and shallow piended-roof of early-mid 19th century. The
house may have been part of an earlier mansion, or indeed the
principal if modest house of the estate before the circa
1770 mansion (enlarged 1840) was constructed. Certainly it
appears to have been used as servants' quarters in late
18th-early 19th century, the walled passage linking it
directly with the mansion house rear service area, screening
the coming and going of servants from the main entrance
front of the 1770 house. The mansion house was re-cast
to the S in 1840 and approached by a new drive from the E,
after which the service area would have been less noticeable.
Houses and stables now linked internally and in process of
conversion to modern dwelling (1989).
