Tudor Lodge is a Grade II* listed building in Plympton, Devon, England. [1] [2] Standing at 63 Fore Street, Plympton's main street, it dates to the late 17th century. [1]
A former merchant's house, it is timber-framed and boarded to the second tier, with rendered rubble to the ground floor. The 18th-century pilastered doorcase has moulded entablatures either side of it. [1]
A wide carriage-entrance passage on the right displays part of the cellar in its wall. [1]
The building was evaluated by Time Team during their visit to Plympton in 1999. Its basement walls were found to be pre-17th century due to the fact that a chamfered beam at head height in the basement was believed to have formerly sat on top of a wall (the others around it still being in place today), taking the line of the roof upwards.
