Description:Newcastle Lodge stands on the approach drive to Keele Hall from the north off Keele Road. It is a Grade II listed two-storey red-brick building with blue diaper work decoration, built in 1833 and designed by Mr Trubshaw of Newcastle-under-Lyme.
The manor of Keele was bought in 1544 by William Sneyd and for the next 400 years the estate was owned by the family, and Keele Hall became the families principal seat. The last owner of Keele, Colnel Ralph Sneyd sold the estate to Stoke-on-Trent corporation in 1949, as they were looking for a site for the University College of North Staffordshire.
