Entrance Arch, Lambhill Cemetery, 1035 Balmore Road, Glasgow

The entrance arch at Lambhill Cemetery, designed by James Sellars in 1880, is a severe classical triumphal arch made of cream sandstone ashlar, featuring banded courses on the roadside.

The monumental archway has a round-headed, keystoned design with a moulded surround and an impost course. It is recessed at the center and flanked by Ionic columns in antis. The outer piers have pilastered panels carved above the impost level, adorned with simple oval motifs. A full entablature with a cornice and a substantial blocking course is recessed at the center. The rear elevation is simpler, with a moulded archway at the center, narrow piers on either side, and a blocking course that is flush with the wallpane. The former rectangular-plan lodges, which were slightly advanced from the triumphal arch towards the roadside, were demolished in 1991, leaving remnants to dwarf wall level flanking the arch.

The gates and railings, dating from around 1880, consist of decorative two-leaf wrought- and cast-iron gates featuring scroll ornament and embossed panels with Biblical text. The railings are similarly detailed, with pilasters and a paterae frieze.
