Lowe Stand, 18th-century hunting lodge in Hoyland, England
Lowe Stand is an 18th-century hunting lodge in Hoyland built with a two-story sandstone tower. The structure has a square stair-turret on the north-west corner and large stone quoins for reinforcement.
The building was commissioned around 1750 by Thomas Watson-Wentworth, First Marquess of Rockingham, as part of his estate development. It served as an observation point within his broader landscape scheme.
The structure shows how 18th-century English landowners built observation points to survey their estates and display their status. Such towers reflected the way the wealthy controlled and viewed their surrounding landscape.
The building is accessible via local walking paths and can be viewed from the outside. The surrounding area is good for walking and exploring the landscape.
The interior preserves original spiral staircase sections with brick arches from its construction period. These details are uncommon in hunting lodges of this era and show careful craftsmanship.
