Lodge to right two-storey. Gothic style. The lodge to left is octagonal in plan, with plinth. Its entrance, within the cemetery, has arched head and hoodmould with foliage stops. The other main sides have cusped, spherical triangle windows with alternately coloured voussoirs. Small buttresses to the remaining sides. Pyramidal roof with bands of fishscale slating. The lodge to the right is of four bays, marked by low buttresses, and the left part is octagonal in plan.

The first floor of the second bay has taller, narrower paired lancets which rise above the eaves in a gabled dormer with finial and circle in apex. Moulded gutter brackets. Bands of fishscale slating to roof which is pyramidal over the left part. The cemetery front has a central pent porch with pointed-arched doorway. Flat-roofed addition to left of this in keeping. The left return of the octagonal part is gabled and has paired lancet windows.

The lodges are linked by a low wall plinth, ashlar coping and simple iron railings with round bars which have decorative finials. Tall central, buttresses, arched gateway with coping, kneelers, footstones and iron finials. In apex is a cinquefoil and a ribbon with date AD 1861.
