1. Title: "Lodge Park, Sherborne, Aldsworth, Gloucestershire: An Unusual 17th Century Grandstand for Deer Coursing" This photograph, taken in the 1910s, presents Lodge Park in Aldsworth, Gloucestershire, near Sherborne. The image showcases an intriguing architectural oddity that harks back to a bygone era - a grandstand built for observing deer coursing in the 17th century. Deer coursing was a popular sport during this period, involving the release of deer and hounds to chase each other across an open field. The wealthy landowners and nobility would gather at such venues to watch the spectacle, often accompanied by banquets, gambling, and entertaining activities. The grandstand at Lodge Park, with its distinctive arched design, was a testament to the grandeur and extravagance of this pastime. The structure, which appears to be in a semi-ruined state in this photograph, once provided an excellent vantage point for the spectators to enjoy the thrilling chase. John Crump Dutton, a renowned photographer of the time, captured this image, offering a glimpse into the past and the unusual architecture that once graced the English countryside. The grandstand at Lodge Park stands as a fascinating reminder of the history and traditions that have shaped the region of Northleach and Gloucestershire. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a window into the past, inviting us to explore the history and stories that lie within the walls of this unique and intriguing structure.
