Cemetery keeper's house

The cemetery keeper's house, built between 1874 and 1874, was designed by G G Hoskins. It is a building of group value, contributing to the character and appearance of the cemetery.

The house is constructed of tooled and snecked Horton bank sandstone with Dunhouse stone dressings, and has Welsh slate roofs, with sections of slate missing from both pitches. The building comprises a rectangular, north-south gabled main range, and a shallow, rectangular east-west range attached to its eastern side.

The main south elevation is two storeys and three bays wide, with quoins and pitched roofs featuring fishtail slates, stone verges, and tall, moulded chimneystacks to the right gable and along the main ridge, the latter cruciform in plan. A moulded eaves cornice and intricately carved stone triangular finials with round-lobed trefoil heads adorn the gables. Kneelers are present on the gable ends and the stone verges feature similar finials to the gable apexes. Window and door openings are predominantly pointed arches set within polychrome surrounds, with square-headed windows on the rear elevation. A full-height gabled bay occupies the left end of the main elevation, with a ground floor canted bay window. The central bay contains a buttressed entrance porch with a hoodmould above the entrance featuring floriated stops. The right end bay has a two-light ground floor window and a half-dormer to the first floor, also containing a two-light window. The left return elevation has two ground floor windows and a pointed-arched yard entrance, which is blind above. The gable chimneystack is rectangular, while the ridge chimneystack is cruciform in plan and echoes the design of the chapels and the chapel spire. The right return has a blocked ground floor pointed-arched entrance to the left of a shallow external chimney. The rear (north) elevation, partially obscured by vegetation and a yard wall, features a two-light window to the right gabled bay with a circular window to the apex, a Gothic cross window to the first floor of the central bay, and a later flat-roofed extension to the left bay.

Internally, the original four-panel doors have been removed, but their simple moulded architraves, along with some skirting boards and built-in cupboards, remain. Original timber frames are retained in Gothic windows and doors. The site of the former staircase is now open in the central entrance hall; most of the staircase has been removed. The first floor was not inspected, but glimpses reveal rectangular architraves and a section of the original staircase balustrade with simple moulded newel posts, carved drops, and a moulded handrail.
