Aldford Lodge consists of a pair of cottages at the Aldford entrance to Eaton Hall, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[1]
The National Heritage List for England states that the design was probably by Alfred Waterhouse.[1] However Edward Hubbard, in his biography of John Douglas, gives a firm attribution to Douglas as the architect.[2] The authors of the Buildings of England series also attribute the design to Douglas.[3] The lodge was built in 1877–79 for the 1st Duke of Westminster.[2]
