Gateway And Chapels Of Broadwater Cemetery, Together With Tombs Of Richard Jefferies (Near Middle Of Cemetery) And Wh Hudson (On South Side)

The gateway and chapels of Broadwater Cemetery, along with the tombs of Richard Jefferies and W H Hudson, were likely built around 1870. This H-shaped Gothic Revival entrance features a Church of England chapel on the north side and a Nonconformist chapel on the south side, which is currently used as a workshed for the cemetery. The structure is made of random rubble in various colors, with masonry dressings. The chapels have gables facing east and west, showcasing large windows with Decorated tracery on the east and lancet windows on the west. There is an arch on corbels leading to a passage through the cross range, topped with a Tuscan inscription on a tablet. The tombs of Richard Jefferies, a novelist and essayist known for his naturalistic themes, and W H Hudson, a naturalist and writer, are both simple, featuring plain marble kerbs.
