It may be small but it is considered one of the best in the Country and very few even get to see it. Now here is your chance in this lovely watercolour.

 

Worcester Lodge is a Grade I listed 18th‑century gate lodge on the Badminton Estate in South Gloucestershire, designed by William Kent around 1746 and now used as an exclusive events and wedding venue.

 

It's pretty cool with a dining room sitting above the main gate and architecturally very significant given its small stature. Nikolaus Pevsner, the famous architectural historian, called Worcester Lodge “one of the ten best buildings in England” – a staggering compliment for what is essentially a gate lodge/pavilion.

 

Interesting facts...

The room above is kind of a cosmic calendar with four seasonal deities in the corners: East – Flora (Spring) with roses (beauty, fertility), South – Ceres (Summer) with wheat (sustenance), West – Bacchus (Autumn) with grapes (ecstasy, wine), North – Pluto (Winter) with ivy (resilience, wealth)
