Description

The Old Aisle Cemetery features an early 18th-century design with additions made in 1863. The entrance includes a rubble gateway with a rusticated V-jointed ashlar round-arch, topped by a square-plan coursed sandstone ashlar watch-house. This watch-house has a slabbed pyramidal roof and is accessed by an open stone staircase to the north. It also has a square birdcage belfry and small square openings on the east and west elevations, along with a short square chimneystack at the southeast corner. The watch-house and gateway are linked to a coped rubble boundary wall that encloses an earlier burial ground, which is part of a larger cemetery that was expanded in 1863.

The gatelodge, built in 1863, is a single-storey, T-plan structure made of squared rubble located at the northeast entrance. It features a basecourse and eavescourse, straight quoins, and stone cills. There is a porch at the east re-entrant angle and a flat-roof extension to the west, with boarded-up windows and tall corniced ashlar stacks.

The cemetery also includes pyramidal stone gatepiers at the northeast and northwest entrances, along with a coped rubble boundary wall that encloses the burial ground. Inside the cemetery, there is a variety of 19th-century monuments, including a Gothic red sandstone monument to Beatrice Clugston, created by W F Salmon in 1891, which features a bronze portrait relief by Pittendrigh MacGillvray.
