Description
Cemetery Lodge was built in 1854-55, likely by C.E. Davis of Bath. It is a Gothic-style building constructed of coursed and dressed stone, with a tiled roof featuring coped verges and a crested ridge. A distinctive external staggered chimney stack rises with a free-standing shaft to the west gable.
The front elevation features three trefoil-headed lancet windows set within shaped rebates, a raised drip molding on the left side, and two lancets to the right. A doorway is situated below an open tower porch, to the right of the centre. Above the left-hand pedestrian entrance to the cemetery is a chamber with a pointed arch, shallow arch with ferns in the spandrels to the south, and two lights on either side. The south-west pier of the porch links with the north gate pier.
On the north-west corner, the ground floor is chamfered, while the first floor features a corbelled section with a pointed arch rising to a carved death's head. The rear of the lodge has two stone chimney stacks with paired octagonal shafts.
