Lynch Lodge
Alwalton, near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire
Alwalton lies in the extreme north of the former county of Huntingdon, on the river Nene a few hundred yards from the Great North Road. Despite its nearness to Peterborough it has a quiet open village street, a cul-de-sac ending in a patch of green, on which stands the Lynch Lodge. This building is the fine, two-storey Jacobean porch from the Drydens’ house at Chesterton, where the poet often stayed with his favourite cousin. It was brought here when the house was demolished in 1807 and erected as a lodge to Milton Park by the Fitzwilliam family, who had a dower-house in the village. The Lynch drive having been closed (not surprisingly as it was three miles long), it now presides over a farm entrance and a rough track to the river. We were told about it by a neighbour and bought it from the Fitzwilliam estate. Never a very convenient dwelling, it had been altered and enlarged over the years to accommodate bigger families. We have restored it to its original form, with one small room up and one more generous room down, joined by a new staircase. View our history sheet for this Landmark
