Lyveden New Bield, Grade I listed Elizabethan lodge in Aldwincle, England
The symmetrical lodge features spiral mounts, terracing, and water canals within a carefully structured garden layout measuring approximately 60 acres.
Construction began in 1604 under Sir Thomas Tresham's direction but ceased upon his death in 1605, leaving the structure permanently incomplete.
The building incorporates numerous Catholic symbols, including five-sided bays representing religious numbers and biblical inscriptions carved into the stonework.
The National Trust maintains this historical site near Peterborough, offering guided tours and interpretative materials about Tudor architecture and gardens.
Lead pipes embedded within the walls channel rainwater through the structure, demonstrating advanced engineering methods of Elizabethan construction.
