Description
The northern chapel at Ilkley cemetery is a disused municipal cemetery chapel built around 1880. It is constructed of coursed sandstone with gritstone dressings and features a plain and shaped green slate roof. The chapel is one storey high and consists of three by one bays, with a gable entrance loggia on the right side of a square bell tower. It includes a north vestibule and a small west apse. Designed in the Gothic Revival style with a Romanesque loggia, the loggia has trabeated openings divided by red sandstone columns with foliated capitals. Within the loggia is a quoined, pointed arched doorway, and the hipped roof abuts the tower.
The tower features a pointed arched sill and dripstone, with quoined front and side gables leading to an ashlar roof. From this roof rises the circular base of a hexagonal spire supported by a colonnade. The chapel has a cinquefoil gable window, and the left return displays offset buttresses between two-light windows that are cusped and foiled under pointed arches with hoodmoulds. The north vestibule contains a shouldered doorhead and square-headed windows, with a stack rising from the main eaves above. The semi-circular apse is illuminated by three cusped lancets. The main roof is adorned with shaped kneelers, ashlar gabled copings, terracotta ridge tiles, and apex crosses. The interior was not inspected, but the chapel is noted for its non-conformist architectural flair.
