About Red Lodge, Bristol

This magnificent house in Park Row, Bristol was built in 1570 by merchant John Yonge; the upper parts were rebuilt in the 18th century. The rich interiors are the oldest in Bristol, they show well the delicate artistry of 16th-century craftsmanship, displaying glorious original panelling and plasterwork from the great Elizabethan period.

The house was built as a lodge to the Great House, where Queen Elizabeth I was lavishly entertained. It has a sumptuous Oak Room, said to be one of the finest remaining in the land. This has superb Oak panelling, carved doorcase, magnificent stone chimneypiece, and amazing plasterwork to the ceiling.

Red Lodge contains fine furnishings from the 17th and 18th-centuries.

Outside the house there is an attractive re-created Elizabethan Knot garden.

This beautiful house with its gorgeous russet brick stone dressed Georgian facade is now operated by Bristol City Council who run it as a museum.
