What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey Classical style gate lodge, built c.1870. The building is constructed in dressed coursed granite. The panelled front door is set within a flat-headed opening with a fine raised stone surround; this is set within a projecting bay which has fine pilasters to each corner with a dentilled frieze over and all surmounted by a slightly projecting pediment with a laurel wreath motif. Window openings are all flat-headed with metal top-hung replacement windows. Main gables are as per that of the projecting bay. The pitched roof is slated and rainwater goods are cast-iron; the chimneystack is rendered with granite corbelled cap and clay chimney pots. The lodge is sited by the curved gate screen with wrought-iron gates and square panelled gate pillars with pyramidal caps.
Delightful cemetery gate lodge of c.1870 which is original, in good condition and an excellent asset to the heritage of the area.
