Christmas Lunch in the Lodge

Written by admin. Posted in General

. On 25 January 1892, noted architect Percy Oakden was engaged to design a residence for the Sexton. Twenty-one tenders to construct “The Lodge” submitted plans ranging from £694-7-9 and £998-11-0 with the contract awarded to local builders Boxshall and Leonard on 8 March. The office, boardroom and strongroom were added in 1929 while the service wing, wash house, kitchen and other modifications were completed in 1930 at a further cost of £800.

Ever wondered what the inside of the building is like?, this is your opportunity to see the inside of the building that is normally not open to the general public and enjoy a nice lunch.

You will be able to follow the time line of 170 years of the cemetery up and down the passage alson with displays by the Glen Eira Historical Society that were part of the 170th celebrations of 19th October.

When: 8th December with lunch being served from 12 Noon.          Cost $20 per person
