Description
The North Chapel at Alnwick Cemetery is a cemetery chapel built in 1856. It was designed by F.R. Wilson and constructed by Armstrong and Hudspeth. The chapel is made of rubble stone with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof with coped gables and finials. It has a chamfered plinth, angle buttresses, quoins, and a moulded band.
On the south front, there is a projecting gabled porch to the right that contains a pointed arch doorway. An octagonal stair turret with a reduced stone spire is located at the corner. To the left, there are two pairs of small pointed arch windows with buttresses in between, followed by a single similar window with a hood mould.
The west gable front features three lancet windows and four small circular windows above. The east gable front has a projecting single-storey narthex with four small pointed arch windows and a stone roof. Above this, there is a tall pointed arch window with three lights, which has unusual plate tracery and a hood mould.
