Description
The Entrance Lodge to the main entrance of Philips Park Cemetery is a lodge built in 1867 by Paull and Ayliffe. It is constructed from coursed sandstone rubble and features steeply-pitched slate roofs. The building has a compact rectangular plan and is designed in an eclectic Gothic style.
It stands two storeys high and has two irregular bays: the first bay includes a square tower, while the second bay is gabled. The tower features a segmental-pointed arched doorway at the ground floor, a transomed lancet window at the first floor, a frieze with three quatrefoils, and a steep pyramidal roof adorned with fishscale bands and an apex finial. The second bay has a shallow mullion-and-transom bay window with a hipped roof and a cross-window directly above it. To the left of the tower is a curved stair-turret with a lancet window on its left side, leading to the gable of the return.
