Description
Cemetery Lodge, built around 1847 and attributed to Sir Joseph Paxton, is a mid-19th century Italianate structure. It is constructed of red sandstone and features a hipped roof covered with Welsh slate. The building stands two storeys tall and includes a plinth, a first-floor band, a frieze, and a cornice. Notable architectural details include vermiculated quoins, ground floor windows with cornices supported by brackets, and round-headed first-floor windows with plain voussoirs and imposts. The entrance is marked by an arched porch that has an impost band, a keystone, a cornice band, and a blocking course. On the north-west corner, there is a square tower topped with a hipped roof, which has a cut bracketed cornice and three arched narrow windows on each side at the second-floor level. All the listed buildings in the cemetery are part of a group.
