Champion Lodge
Champion Lodge was a large house at Camberwell in London.
History
The lodge was built at the foot of Denmark Hill by Claude de Crespigny in 1717.[1] The Prince of Wales visited the lodge in 1804 and Claude Champion de Crespigny, the then owner of the house, was made a baronet in 1805.[1] The lodge, which was originally surrounded by a 30-acre park, was demolished in 1841.[1] The family then moved to Maldon in Essex.[2]
