The impressive Entrance Archway from Jesmond Road consists of a pair of Chapel Lodges with adjacent walls and gates to Jesmond Old Cemetery.
We’ll start with the ARCHWAY, CHAPELS AND WALLS. This section of our website aims to give you the ‘official’ architectural and historic rationales behind these particular elements of Jesmond Old Cemetery being granted ‘Listed status’ and also catalogues how the Friends of Jesmond Old Cemetery have been involved in the restoration of some of them. Although we love Jesmond Old Cemetery, being brutally honest, it cannot really match the grand splendour of some of the Victorian cemeteries we’ve visited in London, Glasgow and Edinburgh but it does, nevertheless, have its own fair share of Listed buildings, walls and monuments that we can be justly proud of.
