Byrkley Lodge, English country house in Burton on Trent, United Kingdom.

The former Byrkley Lodge stood within expansive grounds near Burton on Trent, featuring traditional architectural elements of English country houses and surrounding gardens.

The property originated as a hunting lodge in Needwood Forest during the 13th century, when Thomas de Berkeley served as keeper of the Tutbury ward.

The lodge developed into a significant racing establishment under Hamar Alfred Bass, producing successful horses including the 1896 Ascot Gold Cup winner Love Wisely.

The original structure was demolished in 1953, and the 330-acre estate now houses the St George's Park National Football Centre, opened in 2012.

The grounds once contained a population of albino rabbits, introduced by Arthur Chichester in 1786, which were protected by specific rental conditions.
