DESCRIPTION With origins dating to the 16th century, the Burton Park estate has had mixed fortunes including two major fires that destroyed the mansion. This resulted in the present house we see today and the ancillary estate accommodation that is now Lodge Green; of which Lewis Lodge, dating from 1897, is the former stables. Intriguingly, Lewis Lodge was also the 6th form accommodation when Burton Park was a private girls school between 1949 and 1993.
