Description
Hove Cemetery opened in 1882, at which point the chapels, lodge, gateway and boundary walls were constructed, predominantly in flint. It was extended in 1899. The lodge is of two storeys. The main elevation is of flint with brick and stone dressings. To the rear, the extension has a pebble-dash finish with rendered dressings. The extension has resulted in a particularly complicated roof form. Source: Middleton 2002
A. Architectural, Design and Artistic Interest
v The design of the lodge is particularly characterful due to its flint, brick and stone front elevation, with gables and gablets with decorative bargeboards.
C. Townscape Interest
ii Set at the entrance to the cemetery, the lodge is prominent in views of the area. It contributes both to the streetscene and to the character of the designed landscape.
F. Intactness
i The building was extended at the end of the 19th century, but has remained largely unaltered in its external appearance since then. It retains timber sash windows to the majority of openings.
