Description
The lodge at Oakham Cemetery, built in 1860, serves as a cemetery lodge and office. Designed by Pearson Bellamy and J Spence Hardy of Lincoln, it features thinly coursed ironstone with pale ashlar limestone dressings and has banded slate roofs. The building has a Gothic Revival style and is arranged in a 1:3:1 bay configuration, with a one-storey and attic central section flanked by single-storey wings.
The central bay slightly projects forward and includes a two-centred carriage arch with a hoodmould, along with original cast-iron gates. Above the arch is a narrower gable that features a triangular oriel window with shouldered lights, brattishing, and an ashlar roof. To the left of the arch is a three-light window with plain tracery, a two-centred arch, and a hoodmould. On the right side, there is a canted bay window with cusped tracery, brattishing, and an ashlar roof, topped by a gabled dormer with a two-light window. The building has crested ridges and projecting end stacks with brattished caps.
The left side wing is set back and has a cusped lancet beneath a small gable, while the main roof has a half-hipped end. The right side bay is a blank screen wall with later infill behind it. At the rear, the office in the single-storey wing behind bay four features a projecting end stack with offsets and a brattished cap, along with square-headed two-light windows, one of which has tracery on the ground floor.
