Entrance Lodges And Gates To Cemetery

The entrance lodges and gates to the cemetery, built around 1840 by local architect William Brown, are a notable example of 19th-century architecture. The buildings are constructed from Bath stone and stand two storeys high. They feature an arched entry with a moulded architrave and a central keystone, set within a rectangular block adorned with Doric pilasters, a moulded entablature, and a pediment above. Each flanking lodge has an entablature and a blocking course, topped with a hipped slate roof and flanking chimneys. Each lodge contains one window with glazing bar sashes, surrounded by an architrave. The rear of the lodges has a parapet with a recessed centre, and the sides have shallow pediments above the parapets. The contemporary gates are made of cast iron, featuring a row of roses beneath spearhead rails.
