Now destroyed. The site of a single storey dwelling, Falconer's Lodge, which was built in around 1830 and was demolished at some time between 2007 and 2010 due to disrepair. It was sited atop a dam, on the site of a Scheduled medieval and post-medieval manorial complex (EHER 7871). The building was brick-built and originally thatched, later with slate covered roofs.

Falconers Lodge forms part of the Woodham Walter medieval and post-medieval manorial complex (EHER 7781). The area comprises a large rectangular water-feature with a dam and a building named 'Falconers Lodge'. In around 1830 a single storey dwelling, Falconers Lodge, was built at the south-western part of the watching brief site (Ryan, 1989, 86). This brick building was erected on top of the dam, and the land to the north and east formed part of its gardens. In 2007 Falconers Lodge was a burnt-out shell and has since been demolished to ground slab level. <1> See aerial photograph. <2> It is referred to as 'Wilderness Cottage' on the 3rd edition Ordnance Survey map. <3> The Duke of St Albans, the last hereditary Royal Falconer, built a house near the 'Ruins' for his falconer in the late 1820s.
