Shrubland Park
Pictures of buildings mentioned in the “Suffolk” volume of “The Buildings of England” series by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner.
Shrublands Park is one of the great houses of Suffolk but it is largely inaccessible.
A few years ago it was for sale after institutional use and I found this photograph on the web so I do not own the copyright. If you own it and want it removed let me know.
Pevsner devotes about one and a half pages to the Park (pages 417 - 419). He describes how Sir John Barry’s “spectacular Italianate fronts conceal the work of two predecessors”. Barry’s work dates from 1848 to 1852.
There are three lodges of 1841 in the style of the Barry work. One at the North West, and the Ipswich and Coddenham lodges. The one at the North West is shown below.
