Bishop Auckland Cemetery Lodge

Bishop Auckland Cemetery Lodge is a lodge for the municipal cemetery, likely built in 1884. It is constructed from coursed squared stone with an ashlar plinth and dressings, featuring rock-faced quoins. The roof is made of Lakeland slate, partly graduated, with stone gable copings and pierced dark grey terracotta ridge cresting.

The lodge is designed in the Gothic Revival style and consists of a single storey plus an attic. The exterior includes three windows. There is a raised drip moulding above a Tudor-arched boarded door located in a steeply gabled porch to the left of the central bay. The central bay projects under a gable and features a canted ground-floor bay with stone mullions supporting two lights with trefoil tracery and a stone hipped roof. Above are three shouldered lights with sloping stone sills and a small slit in the gable peak.

Wide side buttresses flank the door and the central bay, creating a unified projection under two gables. The left side has three trefoil heads and a relieving arch above a ground-floor window in an ashlar surround with alternate block jambs, along with a two-light window with pointed heads in a gabled dormer that breaks the eaves. The right bay is set back further and has similar windows, along with a pointed-arched boarded door with elaborate wrought-iron hinges in a moulded surround to the left.

The steeply pitched roof features ashlar peaks and fleur-de-lys finials. The right set-back bay has a slightly higher roof made of graduated slate and a stubby chimney at the right end. The left part has a tall stone-coped chimney at the rear, and a tall chimney rises from the eaves of the right return of the entrance projection. All chimney pots are short, square, and grey, possibly made of stone.
