The Temple Lodges at Abney Park Cemetery in London's Borough of Hackney are gatehouses designed by William Hosking in the Egyptian Revival style. Built primarily of stone, these structures represent an unusual architectural choice for their era, reflecting the period's public fascination with Egyptology. The design proved controversial: Augustus W.N. Pugin notably objected to the lodges' non-European aesthetic, despite their popularity among contemporaries.
