South Catacomb

The South Catacomb, built around 1863 by architects Lucy and Littler, is a Grade II listed structure located in Anfield Cemetery. It is constructed of stone with a slate roof and features nine bays. The exterior includes weathered buttresses and a corbelled parapet adorned with gargoyles. Each bay contains three trefoil-headed panels, some of which are inscribed with names. The central passageway has segmental arches supported by wall piers with angel corbels. The entrances to the end bays on the north side have pointed arches, with the mouldings integrated into the wall and flush gables that project through the parapet, featuring crockets and fleurons. The returns of the structure have round apses with three lancets that include iron grilles. The roof has skylights, most of which were boarded in 1984. Inside, there are two chambers with iron gates, and quatrefoil piers that support diaphragm arches and segmental pointed arches leading to side recesses.
