Cemetery Chapels

The cemetery chapels, built between 1860 and 1880, are located on Cheshire Street in Audlem. They are constructed of red random bond brick featuring blue brick diapering and bands of encaustic tiles, topped with alternating bands of red and blue slates on the roof. The design includes two funeral chapels connected by a range of porches, an archway, and a bell tower.

The front of the building has a projecting plinth that runs along the entire structure, topped with chamfered ashlar. At the right of the center is a pointed archway with a double chamfered rebate, above which is a gable adorned with patterned encaustic tiles between rows of blue bricks. At the apex of the gable is an octagonal relief panel depicting Christ blessing the congregation. To the left stands a square bell tower, featuring a clasping buttress on the left corner, a quatrefoil with an ashlar surround on its lower section, and a pointed lancet above, topped by a louvred lancet in the bell chamber. The tower is capped with a square slate spire.

Flanking the bell tower are chapel porches with lancet windows. Each chapel has gable ends, with angle buttresses at the corners and a central double doorway flanked by pilarettes with crocketed capitals. Above the capitals are bands of encaustic tiles. The door reveals are chamfered, and ashlar hood moulds feature figurehead label stops. The buttresses have ashlar offsets, and the gables are adorned with plate tracery windows that include three lancet lights below and circular lights above. Additional bands of encaustic tiles are present at the sill level and at the springing of the arches, with blue brick bands on the upper sections of both gables and crosses at the apexes. The sides of the chapels have lancet lights with buttresses in between, while the western gable ends (ritual East) feature paired lancets with an oval light above.

Inside both chapels, the walls and floors showcase richly patterned encaustic tiling, complemented by panelled wooden roofs.
