Cottesbrooke Hall Lodges

Remarkably, this is not the original location of the lodges. This driveway was not created until 1938, and the lodges were moved here from their location at SP69317345. Until that time the drive from the Hall made a wide sweep round the northern part of the park and extended as far as the main road to Leicester, now the A5199. The lodges are Listed Grade II, as separate buildings rather than as an ensemble.

Listed Buildings and Structures

Listed buildings and structures are officially designated as being of special architectural, historical or cultural significance. There are over half a million listed structures in the United Kingdom.
Listed status is more commonly associated with buildings or groups of buildings, however it can cover many other structures, including bridges, headstones, steps, ponds, monuments, walls, phone boxes, wrecks, parks, and heritage sites.

There are three main listing designations;
Grade I (2.5%) - exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important.
Grade II* (5.5%) - particularly important buildings of more than special interest.
Grade II (92%) - nationally important and of special interest.

There are also locally listed structures using A, B and C designations.
