Walls To Ealing Cemetery

The boundary walls to Ealing Cemetery were built in 1861 by Charles Jones, the Borough Engineer. They are made of Kentish rag stone with Bath stone dressings and feature wrought and cast iron gates and railings. The walls are approximately 70 meters long and are divided by piers into thirteen sections, with four gates providing access to the former hall, the lodge, the main entrance, the chapels, and the south lodge. The principal piers are capped with pyramids, while the smaller piers have moulded copings, as does the dwarf wall, which is set over a course of angle-set red bricks. The main gates combine Gothic and Arts and Crafts styles and display the borough arms, while the other gates are made of decorative wrought iron. The railings curve outward and are spiked. These walls and railings have significant group value with the lodges and chapels and echo the design of the northern boundary along Pope's Lane.
