context_page_description: Anfield Cemetery, or the City of Liverpool Cemetery, is located in Anfield, a district of Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It lies to the northeast of Stanley Park, and is bounded by Walton Lane to the west, Priory Road to the south, a railway line to the north, and the gardens of houses on Ince Avenue to the east. The cemetery grounds are included in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens at Grade II*.
context_section_description: Associated with the cemetery are twelve buildings that are designated by English Heritage as Grade II listed buildings.  All are constructed in sandstone.  The main entrance consists of two carriageways with gate piers between and flanking them.  The central gate pier is enlarged to form an octagonal clock tower with Gothic features, including a gabled top and pinnacles.  The carriageways contain iron gates.  Flanking the carriageways are pedestrian entrances, above which are iron canopies.  There is a lodge to the north and another to the south of the main entrance.  The north lodge is in one storey with an attic.  It has an L-shaped plan with a porch in the angle.  To the right of this is a canted bay window, above which is a window containing the coat of arms of the city.  The south lodge also has a single storey with an attic, and contains windows with pointed arches and transoms.  In the centre is a gabled porch with a pointed arched entrance, above which is a dormer.  The Cherry Lane entrance incorporates a bridge under the railway.  It has a central carriageway, which is flanked by footways.  Its features include castellated portals each of which has a tourelle, coats of arms of the city, and fine gates.  The entrances on Walton Lane and Priory Road are similar to each other.  They consist of four gate piers with moulded bases, which are surmounted by pyramidal finials.  Between the piers are ornamental wrought iron gates.  To the south of the Priory Road entrance is another lodge, also in a single storey with an attic, which is similar to the lodge to the south of the main entrance.  In Priory Road is the former registrar's office.  This has an irregular plan, and is in two storeys and five bays.  It contains bay windows, the other windows being mullioned and transomed.
  Inside the cemetery is the one remaining chapel, which originally served the Nonconformists. This is constructed in stone with a slate roof, in Early English style.  It consists of a nave with an apse, and north and south aisles, each of which ends in a porch.  Above the north porch is a steeple, which contains two-light louvred bell openings with gargoyles and pinnacles, and is surmounted by a spire with lucarnes.  Flanking the site of the former Anglican chapel are two entrances to former catacombs.  From these, coffins were carried by hydraulic lifts down to a crypt about 25 feet (8 m) beneath the ground.  The crypt contains four passages, which are lined on each side by recesses for the coffins.  Above ground are buttressed arcades in nine bays with corbelled parapets and gargoyles.  The entrances to the catacombs are now blocked.
  The crematorium is in Perpendicular style, and has a T-shaped plan.  Its tower, a disguised chimney, includes louvred bell openings, gargoyles, and an embattled parapet.
  Because of the state of the one remaining chapel, now unused, and the poor condition of the catacombs, the site has been placed on the Heritage at Risk Register of English Heritage.
