Pembroke Lodge At some time prior to 1754 the Lodge began life as a humble cottage of one room. This cottage was enlarged to form a dwelling with four principal rooms, and renamed Hill Lodge. The occupant John Trage, a gamekeeper let rooms to Elizabeth Countess of Pembroke, who became very fond of the Lodge and begged King George III to grant it to her. After the death of the Countess here on 26th May 1831 at the grand age of 93 years William IV granted the Lodge to the Earl of Erroll husband of one of his daughters. Between 1831 and 1846 the Earl completed most of the remainder of the North wing. The Countess of Dunmore lived here during 1846. In 1847 Queen Victoria granted the Lodge to Lord John Russell the Prime Minister, who conducted much Government business from here. This was one of the hey-days with visitors including Queen Victoria and the Prince Consort, Palmerston, Gladstone, Garibaldi, Thackeray, Dickens, Browning, Tennyson, Landseer and Lewis Carroll.
