Tower lodge, once quite famous because of its, albeit tenuous, association with a horrific murder....
The lodge had a minor association with a headless torso found at Haw Bridge in 1938. It was believed to be a Captain William Butt of Bath Road Cheltenham, although it was never identified.
The son of a nurse who looked after Butt's mother was found dead a couple of weeks before at Tower lodge, apparently a suicide.
As a kid in the 50s it was always scary walking by the lodge! Probably not helped by adults embellishing the murder etc.
The case was never solved.
There is a book about it, "The Great British Torso Mystery"
