Description
The lodges, gate piers, and railings at Witton Cemetery were built around 1850. They are made of pink sandstone with buff stone dressings and feature a multi-coloured slate roof. The lodges are intentionally asymmetrical, both individually and in relation to each other. The principal lodge, located to the north, has a canted bay window and two gables facing the road. On the drive side, it features a two-storey canted bay window with a stone roof, as well as a set-back entrance tower-porch that includes tripartite bell openings, prominent gargoyles, and a tall pyramidal roof with lucarnes. It also has bold chimney stacks. The southern lodge is a smaller structure with one storey plus an attic, styled similarly to the northern lodge but more modestly, featuring a canted bay window facing the road and a bowed south end. The turret piers are buttressed and topped with stone spires and iron finials, while the flanking railings are made of iron in a Gothic style. There are also quadrant railings leading to modern piers and entrance gates.
