Description

The linking arcade to the former Barnsley Cemetery Chapels was built between 1860 and 1861 by Perkins and Backhouse of Leeds. It is constructed from coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings. The central feature is a pointed arched gateway that is gabled, featuring kneelers and a decorative band of circles with trefoils, along with a trefoil at the apex. The structure includes reducing angle buttresses topped with pinnacles. On either side of the arcade, there is a low Gothic arcade that is also gabled and separated by reducing buttresses. The chapels themselves were demolished in 1983.
