Description



LANCASTER

SD4861 EAST ROAD
1685-1/5/113 (South side)
Perimeter walls and gateway of Roman
Catholic Cemetery

GV II

Gateway and walls enclosing 3 sides of the Roman Catholic
Cemetery. 1849-50. By EG Paley. Sandstone rubble with ashlar
dressings. The walls on the north and east sides have
roughly-dressed triangular copings. The wall on the west side,
which incorporates the gateway, has a roll-topped coping. The
gateway is roofed with overlapping sandstone flags between 2
gables which have wedge-shaped coping stones giving a similar
stepped appearance. The archways are pointed, chamfered in 2
orders, and have hoodmoulds. On the west side are gates of
timber and iron. Internally, a single transverse rib supports
the vault, and an inscribed plaque is set into the side wall:
'According to the pious and charitable wish of the Revd Thomas
Abbot, who died... Feb. 18th 1904... it was directed that four
masses be celebrated in the Church of St Peter... each
year...'.
