Overview

History & significance

The lodges and perimeter walls date from the seventeenth century, contemporary with or shortly following the construction of the castle itself, which was built by Thomas Howard, third Earl of Suffolk, in the 1590s. These structures served both functional and symbolic purposes within the designed landscape of the estate, with the lodges controlling access to the castle grounds and the walls defining the extent of the parkland.
