Lacy's Lodge
Shaun Castle 14 November 2006
In sightline of the historic monument of Long Meg, Marion Lodge is a fine Georgian farmhouse set in pastoral policies with an exquisite vista of the Eden Valley framed by the Lakeland and Pennine fells beyond.
Formerly part of the Manor of Salkeld and Addingham Parish, it is plausible that the lodge was built during improvements made to the estate by Lieut. Colonel Lacy from 1790, as the property was extant in its current form by the incumbancy of Robert Hodgson at Salkeld Hall in 1836, and clearly titled as Marion Lodge by dissolution of the ancient parish in 1894.
The double pile house has a stairwell running full depth, flanked by symmetrical rooms to front and back in the Georgian manner, and is finished with stone render and projecting bay fenestration to front. Walls of coarse red sandstone, corbelled brick chimney stacks and chamfered jambs to doorways are illustrative of a building built at the vernacular watershed.
