LEEDS
SE2934NW ST GEORGE'S FIELDS 714-1/71/363 Facade to burial vaults approximately 10m south-east of chapel
GV II
Remains of the facade to (probably) the burial vaults of the Leeds General Cemetery, now St George's Fields. 1832-34. By John Clark. Ashlar and gritstone. Approx 10m long and 2m high. 6 rusticated flat arches behind pilasters supporting entablature and cornice, 2-course parapet above. The arches are blocked. The facade is obscured by landscaping embankments at each end and was originally much longer. Baine's map of Leeds (1834) has an illustration of the 'General interior view of the Leeds Cemetery' which shows this facade with 48 openings or recesses and large terminals with statues; the 1847 OS map shows 'Arcade Vaults' of 32 bays, the central section built out and buttressed.
