Description

The Custodian's House at Mill Road Cemetery, dated 1848, was originally a mortuary chapel that has since been converted into a house. The building features knapped flints with limestone quoins and dressings. It is a single storey with an attic and has one, two, and three-light wooden casements. There is a panelled door with an inscription above it that reads 'Parochial Burial Ground Consecrated November 7 1848'. The roof is gabled and covered with modern tiles, and there is a clustered chimney stack.
