The Sexton’s Lodge is in the portico of the Grade II* listed Gatehouse to Sheffield General Cemetery. It is one of the oldest, complete garden cemeteries remaining in the UK and is now a recognised Conservation Area and Local Nature Reserve.
The Sexton’s Lodge comprises a living / dining room, small well equipped kitchen, shower room and a bedroom. The accommodation has been furnished with original pieces, lighting and antiques from 19th century and we hope it offers a comfortable base for your stay in Sheffield. The lodge has underfloor heating and a thermostatic wall control in the bedroom. The bedroom has with twin beds which can be made up as individual beds or as a super king bed – please specify which you would prefer when booking. It is within a short distance of the city centre, close to Ecclesall Road with a good choice of restaurants and bars and within 5 minutes walk of Sharrow Vale with its range of interesting and quirky independent shops, antiques centres, art and design shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. Netheredge is adjacent to the cemetery and offers the chance to stroll around Sheffield’s greenest Victorian suburb, through to Abbeydale Road, where you will find a more diverse range of restaurants, bars, café’s, delis and more antiques shops.
Local on street parking is available and is metered – at £4.50 per day. Our volunteers are based at the gatehouse, so when they are working, you may experience some noise and activity as they gather their equipment to start work.
