Description
Grade II listed
Referred to as King John's Hunting Lodge by Historic England. Also known as King Henry's Hunting Lodge.
Reference to King John due to possible link with Odiham Castle built by King John in the 13th Century. However, the house was probably built during the 18th century as a cottage with no evidence of any medieval fabric in the exisiting structure of the house. Desribed in 1932 as 'one of King Henry VII's hunting lodges', the present name does not seem to be recorded before the middle of the 20th century.
