Description
The mortuary gateway and chapels in Hebburn Cemetery were built in 1890 by Frederick West, who served as the surveyor to the Hedworth, Monkton and Jarrow Burial Board. This linked pair of chapels is constructed from snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings and features a roof made of Welsh slate. Designed in the Early English style, the structure has an H-shaped plan.
A tower with a tall stone spire sits above the carriage arch, which includes narrow lancets on the first stage and open two-light windows on the second stage. The arch contains doors leading to corridors with three windows that connect to the chapels. The east elevations showcase three tall cusped lancets, with the central one featuring flowing tracery, hood moulds with flower stops, and buttresses along with angle buttresses that have gablets and coping at the set-backs. The corridor roof has a red-tiled ridge, while the chapel roofs are high-pitched with stone gable coping and two ashlar chimneys.
