I had a recent lucky break of getting around Worksop Manor Lodge before its renavation project starts in ernest. The place is vast, and mostly very badly fire damaged, many of the floors do not exist at the moment.
Worksop Manor Lodge was probably built in the 16th century as a hunting or guest lodge associated with Worksop Manor and comissioned by George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury. It is likely to have been the work of Robert Smythson. The surviving structure has a basement (converted into the ground floor in the 18th century) with four storeys above it: there was certainly originally another storey and it is possible there were two.
