Roman Catholic Chapel In Manchester Southern Cemetery

The Roman Catholic Chapel in Manchester Southern Cemetery is a cemetery chapel built in 1879. It is constructed from coursed sandstone rubble and features a slate roof adorned with red cockscomb ridge tiles, showcasing a Gothic style. The chapel has a short nave that includes a north-west tower and a south-west porch.

The nave is supported by angle-buttresses and has two lancet windows in the south gable wall, with an oculus above them, and a single-light window on the side. The four-stage tower on the left is designed with stages that are successively set back, culminating in an octagonal top stage. This tower features clasping buttresses, a two-centred arched doorway on the south side, a cusped lancet window on the west side, an octagonal belfry with small louvred windows, and a short spire. The gabled porch has a large two-centred arched doorway with chamfered jambs and a moulded head, along with a coped gable topped with an apex cross.

The interior has not been inspected. This chapel, along with the Church of England chapel and Nonconformist chapel, forms part of an intact set of three chapels that vary in form but share a similar style.
