II
Registrar's house, now lodge. c1876. By George Corson.
Enlarged 1915, by WS Braithwaite. Coursed squared
gritstone, red tile roof. In Vernacular Revival style. 2
storeys, the upper storey in the roof, 2 bays, L-plan, a low
hipped-roof entrance bay with 4-panel door left.
Central entrance, left gabled bay projects as a short wing
with 2 cross windows to ground floor and a 3-light mullioned
window above; a sundial with inscribed date '1907' in the
gable. A tall 4-flue stack with cylindrical shafts left, a
2-flue stack right, rear of ridge. Right return: large 6-light
mullion and transom window to ground floor.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
George Corson designed the lodge with board room, retiring
room and 'dead house' and outbuildings at the main entrance to
the cemetery in 1875; the 1907 date suggests extensive
re-ordering of this building, perhaps by the architect of the
1905 crematorium.
