Description

The entrance lodges, gates, and railings to Abney Park Cemetery were built in the early to mid-19th century. The north and south lodges are single-storey, two-bay buildings made of ashlar stone, designed in an Egyptian style. They feature a pronounced batter at the corners, a coved cornice, and a flat roof. The doors are set in recessed panels with similar but shallower cornices. A projecting central pilaster supports the tall double wrought-iron railings, which have lotus finials on the lower row. These railings extend to four tall square stone piers, which are adorned with lotus and palm leaf carvings on their coved cornices, and they hold central double gates and side single gates that match in wrought iron. The south lodge has a stuccoed west extension that is styled similarly.
