Chapel At Bowling

The Chapel at Bowling is a disused municipal cemetery chapel built in 1886. It is constructed from coursed and ashlar sandstone with a graduated green slate roof. The chapel is one storey high and features three by two bays, with a porch at the west end and an apsidal east end, designed in the Gothic revival style.

The exterior includes a chamfered plinth and offset buttresses between the bays, along with a sill band. The porch has side doorways with boarded doors that feature decorative hinges, set under pointed arches with hoodmoulds. Angle buttresses with gablets flank four two-light windows, which are separated by pilasters that extend through a blind traceried parapet.

The chapel itself has cusped two-light windows with hoodmoulds that rise in lobes above foiled openings. The west gable is illuminated by two two-light windows with cusped and foiled tracery under hoodmoulds, which connect to form the base of a keeled shaft that leads to an empty statue niche. The gable is topped with roll-moulded copings and a stone cross, with an attached octagonal spirelet on the left side.

On the north side, there is a separately roofed vestibule with shouldered lintels for the door and windows. The chapel's apse is lit by single-light windows with hoodmoulds, and there is an iron cross at the apex.
