Two Lodges and gateway linking wall and railings to Barnsley Cemetery

The two lodges and gateway linking wall and railings to Barnsley Cemetery were built between 1860 and 1861 by Perkins and Backhouse of Leeds. They are constructed from rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and feature Welsh slate roofs. The lodge on the left is a single-storey, octagonal structure with a plinth. Its entrance, facing the cemetery, has an arched head and a hoodmould with foliage stops. The other sides have cusped, spherical triangle windows with alternately coloured voussoirs and small buttresses. The roof is pyramidal, adorned with bands of fishscale slating.

The lodge on the right is two-storey and consists of four bays, marked by low buttresses. The left part is also octagonal. It has paired and single lancet windows, with the paired windows on the left featuring a square hoodmould with foliage stops. The first floor includes taller, narrower paired lancets that rise above the eaves in a gabled dormer, complete with a finial and a circle at the apex. The roof, which is pyramidal over the left part, also has bands of fishscale slating. The cemetery front features a central pent porch with a pointed-arched doorway, and there is a flat-roofed addition to the left that is in keeping with the design. The left return of the octagonal part is gabled and has paired lancet windows.

The lodges are connected by a low wall with a plinth, ashlar coping, and simple iron railings with round bars topped with decorative finials. The central gateway features tall buttresses, an arched opening with coping, kneelers, footstones, and iron finials. At the apex of the gateway is a cinquefoil and a ribbon inscribed with the date AD 1861. The wrought-iron gates are of a simple, elegant design, although the right gate is incomplete.
