Bede Lodge

Bede Lodge is a cemetery lodge and chapel, now functioning as a house, dated 1867 on the left return lintel. The chapel is constructed of coursed rubble with an ashlar plinth and dressings, while the lodge is rendered with ashlar dressings. Both structures have roofs made of graduated dark slates with flat stone gable copings and rendered chimneys. The building is designed in an L-plan.

The chapel features one storey and one bay, with three additional bays in the return. Its gabled front has a wide, two-centred arch that contains inserted boarded doors. Above this arch is a cusped canopied niche that holds a statue of a bearded saint, who is depicted with a book in his left hand and his right hand broken off, possibly representing St. Cuthbert holding the head of St. Oswald. The gable coping is adorned with roll-moulded gablets and a carved cross finial, and the roof is steeply pitched. There are three small lancets in the returns, one of which is cusped and was brought from the 13th century Harbour House chapel in Framwellgate Moor. The right return features a rear square turret topped with a pyramidal roof, with trefoil ventilators on each side.

Inside, the chapel has painted plaster with ashlar dressings and a scissor-braced roof. The lodge, which has one storey and attics, consists of three bays and includes a door under a flat stone lintel to the left of the chapel, along with a painted boarded section in the first bay. The right return, which is continuous with the chapel, has two ground-floor sash windows with blind tympana over Carnarvon heads, and one window in the gable peak with a shouldered lintel. There is also a later left extension that is one storey and consists of two bays.
