GV
II
Cemetery lodge. 1928-29. Designed by Sir Aston Webb, RA and his son, Maurice. Rubble masonry with stone dressings. Blue-green slate laid in diminishing courses. Single storey and attic.

Round-arched loggia of three bays, now filled in by doorway and glazed wood screens. Each pier treated as a battered buttress; parapet with coping above; round-arched window to returns of loggia. The right return has a flat-arched, two-light window with stone mullions and transoms stretching from ground floor into gable end. Single attic light above, also flat-arched. Rear extension for conveniences.

INTERIOR: not inspected.

Gothic in feeling, but with an attention to detailing, materials and workmanship that is more in keeping with an Arts and Crafts sensibility.

The Lodge is situated to north east of cemetery gates and forms a group with the Gates, Waiting Room and Mortuary Chapels (qv).
