Lodge, Walls And Gates To Wallingford Cemetery

The lodge, walls, and gates of Wallingford Cemetery were built around 1860 and are designed in a cottage ornee style. The lodge is constructed from flint with ashlar bands and dressings, topped with a Welsh slate pyramidal roof that has a concealed central stack at the apex. It has a square plan and is a single storey with an attic, featuring a two-window range. The entrance includes a plank door set within a two-centre arched doorway, accompanied by a gabled porch that has a parapet and kneelers on the right side. The windows are paired lancets with a transom and a quatrefoil panel at the top. There is a gabled dormer on the roof with paired lancets and decorative bargeboards on either side.

The surrounding wall is made of red brick, knapped flint, and ashlar panels, featuring mock crenellations, machicolations, and decorative piers at intervals. This wall encloses the cemetery, which measures approximately 150 meters by 120 meters. The gates located to the south of the lodge consist of buttressed gatepiers adorned with cusped cross-gabling and finials. The central gates are paired wrought-iron with regular floral decorative panels, along with single outer pedestrian gates. This structure is part of a well-preserved cemetery complex.
