Description
The entrance to Hebburn Cemetery, built in 1890 by Frederick West for the Hedworth, Monkton and Jarrow Burial Board, features an arch, walls, piers, gates, and railings. Constructed from snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings, the Gothic-style entrance arch is gabled and flanked by buttresses and gabled turrets. It includes low quadrant walls leading to pedestrian gates, with the wall continuing in front of the entrance lodge. The walls have a plinth and chamfered coping. There are five octagonal stone piers, which are splayed at the base, supporting two pedestrian gates and a terminating wall in front of the house, topped with tall ridged coping and finials. Additionally, there are two cast iron piers in front of the house. The gates and railings, made of cast and wrought iron by Milton Iron Works, feature spear-headed designs and decorative elements, with a founders' plate on the railings indicating McDowell and Steven from Glasgow.
