Lodge Park

Lodge Park is a National Trust property in North Gloucestershire, originally built as a grandstand for deer-coursing by Sir John Dutton.

The Household was invited to people the building during a Sealed Knot muster in June 2003, and again in September to provide authentic background for a deerhound drag-coursing event..
