Description

Carr Grange Cemetery Chapel is a cemetery chapel built around 1855 by Johnson of Newcastle. It features random coursed ashlar with plain ashlar dressings and slate roofs. The structure consists of two single-storey chapels set at right angles to each other, with a central tower situated between them. Each chapel has three bays, while the tower is composed of two stages. The building has a double chamfered plinth throughout.

The central tower includes a large pointed archway, with a moulded arch on either side supported by octagonal responds that have deep bases and moulded capitals. Above the archway, there are two lancet windows, and the corners of the tower are stepped in. The second stage of the tower is square at the base and octagonal at the top, featuring paired, trefoil-headed lancets on each side beneath continuous pointed hoodmoulds. Each corner of the tower is adorned with a square buttress topped with a pinnacle. The structure has a moulded eaves cornice and a low parapet that is topped by eight crocketed pinnacles, culminating in an octagonal spire with gableted lucarnes.

The north chapel has three 2-light Decorated traceried pointed windows on the east side and two similar windows on the west, along with a lean-to vestry on the north side that features a pointed south door and paired trefoil-headed lancets to the north. Inside, there is a coved cornice and a 4-light Decorated traceried pointed window on the north side with a stone coped gable on moulded kneelers above. The east and west gables of the south chapel each have two pointed 2-light Decorated traceried windows with a quatrefoil window above, along with stone coped gables on moulded kneelers. The east gable also features a stepped sill band and a diagonal buttress to the south.

The south elevation has similar 2-light windows as those on the north chapel, with a lean-to vestry on the west side that includes steps leading to a four-centred arched east door and paired trefoil-headed lancets on the west side. Both chapels have rubble relieving arches over all openings. Entrance to the chapels is through double chamfered pointed doorways within the tower archway, which has a pointed ribbed vault. The interiors of the chapels are characterized by arched braced roofs.
