Dorking Cemetery Lodge, Entrance Arch, Former Mortuary And Attached Walls

Dorking Cemetery Lodge, along with its entrance arch, former mortuary, and attached walls, was built in 1856 by the firm of Cubitt and Sons, designed by Henry Clutton. This structure is in the Early English style and is constructed from flint with stone dressings and a tiled roof featuring ridge tiles and two stone chimneystacks. The lodge, located to the extreme left, is two storeys with attics and has a 2:1 window arrangement on the front. The windows, which have Caernarvon arches, have been replaced with late 20th-century UPVC. The building has an L-shaped plan, with one two-light casement and one four-light casement on the first floor, along with a gabled dormer. There are plinth and bands between the floors. The rear features a lower gabled wing with two bays and an external chimneystack.

Adjoining the lodge is an entrance archway and a former mortuary, which is a single storey. To the left, there is a pedestrian arch with a Caernarvon arch, and an arched carriage entrance under a gable with kneelers. The front elevation includes three lancets, a triple arched window, and another lancet. The rear has a timber-framed verandah and gable. Attached to the site is a low flint cemetery wall with brick buttresses, stone coping, brick and stone gatepiers, and cast iron gates featuring quatrefoil motifs.
