Chapel At Intake Cemetery

The chapel at Intake Cemetery, built in 1879 by Innocent & Brown for the Gleadless Burial Board, is now used as a store. It is constructed from coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and features a stone slate roof, showcasing a Gothic Revival style. The building has a plinth, sill band, eaves corbels, and coped gables; the east gable is shouldered, while the west gable has a stack. It is a single-storey structure with two windows. The east gable features a deeper plinth and flanking buttresses, with a projecting center that includes a traceried three-light pointed arch window, complete with a hoodmould, finial, and stops. Above this window is a ventilator, and below it is a chamfered and moulded segment-headed doorway set beneath a shallow gable, which has double board doors. On either side of the doorway are flat-headed two-light windows with panel tracery and leaded glazing, some of which have been renewed. The west gable has a deep plinth and a four-light pointed arch window. Inside, the chapel has an arch-braced principal rafter roof with false hammer beams. Innocent & Brown also designed the chapel at Woodhouse Cemetery on Stradbroke Road in a similar style.
