Gateway To General Cemetery With Screen And Flanking Walls

The gateway to the General Cemetery, along with its screen and flanking walls, was built in 1836, likely designed by Samuel Worth. It is constructed from ashlar stone and is in the Egyptian Revival style. The structure features a plinth and moulded coping, with the gateway designed as a pylon that includes roll moulding and a behudet, which is a winged sun motif, in the cornice. The opening is chamfered and gabled, fitted with wrought-iron gates that display a serpent motif. The screen walls terminate in square piers that have tapered hollow chamfers and flat caps. The flanking walls, made of coursed squared stone with gabled stone coping, extend approximately 5 meters to the right and about 70 meters to the left. On the left side, there is a chamfered square-headed gateway.
