Drawing [38] is for a design extending a lodge house and adding a gate and piers. The reference here to a 'Lodge' is really for the old gatehouse to which Soane was adding an arch with turret, and two rooms - one a water closet. The survey drawings [39] to [43] show the 15th century gatehouse that had lost its entrance arch some centuries before.
