Description
The Cemetery Chapel at Philips Park Cemetery is a building constructed in 1867 by Paull and Ayliffe. It is made of coursed squared sandstone rubble and features a steeply-pitched slate roof. The chapel consists of a nave with an apsed chancel, a south aisle that was formerly a mortuary chapel, and a south-east tower topped with a spire. Designed in the Decorated style, it has a pointed moulded and shafted entrance located in the south-western porch. The windows are pointed with geometrical tracery, except for the south aisle, which has oculi. Stone buttresses support the structure, and there are gabled dormers on each side of the nave roof. The tower is adorned with slender pink stone shafting around the top stage, with a single-light window on each side rising into a gable in the four-sided spire, which is clad in patterned blue and grey slate. Inside, there are two paired internal windows between the nave and the south aisle, along with decorative tilework.
