The North Lodge, with 18th century wrought iron gates by Benjamin Yates, stands in the grounds of Kedleston Hall. (3)
The North Lodge was one of Adam's first buildings to be completed at Kedleston between 1760-62. The lodge is situated on the former rond-point which formed the focal point for a number of radiating rides through woodland in the early 18th century park. The lodge is constructed from red bricks faced in ashlar and has a Welsh slate roof. It has a tall carriage archway flanked by low pavilions and a Roman Doric pedimented entrance with fluted columns, triglyph frieze and coat of arms pediment. (4)
