Louth Cemetery

The gate lodge is a Grade II listed building on the register of Historic England.

[3][4][5] When the churchyard at the now-demolished Church of St Mary became full there was a need for a new burial ground for the town.

Designed by Lincoln architects Bellamy and Hardy, the chapels and the gate lodge were built in 1855 in brick with 'cut-away' corners and tall bellcotes over the porches.

The central portion has an oriel window with an inset panel towards the top of the front elevation with the inscription 'ERECTED A.D. 185-' (the final numeral is now missing).

The lodge is constructed with red brick with ashlar stone dressings and a slate roof.

It has been a Grade II listed building on the register of Historic England since 2020 owing to its largely unaltered original condition.
