History
Educated at Trinity College. Fellow of Magdalene, 1818; President and senior Fellow, 1829-1836; Tutor, 1821-1826, 1831-1832; Senior Proctor, 1833-1834. University Librarian, 1822; elected sole Principal Librarian – Protobibliothecarius – in succession to Thomas Kerrich in 1828, a post he held until 1845.
In 1836 there was a dispute with the College about his continued combination of the Presidency with the University Librarianship (which his predecessor Kerrich had not done), and he vacated his Fellowship to take up the College living of Anderby. ‘Lodge had shown more energy, more understanding and more willingness to work at the Librarianship than almost any of his predecessors for nearly two centuries’ (McKitterick, pp. 506-507).
