Description
The Lodge to Harton Cemetery, built between 1888 and 1891 by architect Henry Grieves, is located immediately south of the entrance gates. This picturesque building is designed in the domestic Tudor style and constructed from coursed rubble with ashlar used for the quoins and window details. It has an L-shaped plan and two storeys, topped with gabled slate roofs. The gables feature heavy barge boards and are half-timbered in their upper sections.
The east gable includes a ground floor bay window with traceried heads, while the first floor is tile hung. The north bay features a two-storey bay window. At the re-entrant angle, there is a square tower that rises above the eaves, with a concave section that transitions to support an attractive octagonal cupola topped with an ogee dome. The building also has tall stone Tudor chimney stacks. The west and south elevations are plain and less visually interesting.
Inside, the lodge accommodates a board room, the superintendent's house, and an office.
