Description
The entrance gates and wall to Box Cemetery were built in 1857 by Poulton and Woodman of Reading. The structure features ashlar stonework banded with crazed rubble and includes original iron gates and panels. On the left side, there is a Gothic-arched pedestrian entry with a coped gable and an iron gate, flanked by low walls that have a single crenellation infilled with iron panels. The main entrance is recessed and has two buttressed outer piers topped with carved finials. Each side of the low wall has two crenellations, also infilled with iron panels, which angle back to the main cross-plan buttressed gate piers, with the buttresses capped by gables and finials surrounding a central finial. To the right, there is approximately 50 meters of low wall constructed with an ashlar band beneath crazed rubble and topped with ashlar coping, stepped down in seven sections.
