Lowe Stand, 18th-century hunting lodge in Hoyland, England
The Lowe Stand features a two-story sandstone tower with a square stair-turret projection on the north-west side and large stone quoins.
Thomas Watson-Wentworth, First Marquess of Rockingham, commissioned the construction of this architectural tower around 1750 as part of his estate development.
The Grade II listed structure represents the architectural preferences of 18th-century English nobility who built observation points across their landed estates.
The Friends of Hoyland Lowe Stand, now known as the Lowe Stand Trust, received the building deeds from the local council in 2008.
The interior preserves elements of its original design, including a stone newel and sections of a spiral staircase with brick inner arches.
