Description
Rosehill Cemetery, established in 1839, is a large cemetery enclosed by coped sandstone ashlar walls. The walls feature pedimented lodges at the southern wall's eastern and western ends. The southern wall extends eastward, creating a secondary enclosure with an entrance on Rose Hill. The cemetery is divided by internal walls, which include a lodge and gatepiers.
The southern elevation features a lodge on the west side, constructed of fine ashlar with two blocked round-arched windows and a pedimented gablehead. The lodge has a T-plan layout that extends north, with rubble and dry-dash finishes, replacement windows, and roof slates, along with ashlar gablehead stacks. In the center, there are gatepiers and gates inscribed "1839," which are square in section, corniced, and capped, flanked by cast-iron gates adorned with ornate cross finials and bands. The lodge on the east side mirrors the western lodge, featuring two round-arched windows, a pedimented gablehead, and a cemetery wall extending north with a stone shed on the left.
The eastern elevation showcases a raised boundary wall for the secondary enclosure, with square section, cornice and capped gatepiers, and cast-iron gates similar to those on the southern elevation. Additional gatepiers are located on the inner wall to the west.
Internally, the lodge near the southern entrance has a base course, an eaves band course, two lancet windows, and a pointed arch doorway. There is also a dividing wall running east-west with ornate Baroque gatepiers dated 1816. The cemetery contains many fine 19th-century headstones and monuments.
The northern and western elevations are characterized by coped rubble boundary walls to the north and squared and stugged walls to the west.
