Description
The southern chapel at Ilkley cemetery is a disused municipal cemetery chapel dating from around 1880. It is constructed of coursed sandstone with gritstone dressings and features a plain and sloped green slate roof. The building is one storey high and consists of three bays by one bay, with a gable entrance loggia on the left side of a square bell tower, a south vestibule, and a small west apse. The chapel is designed in the Gothic Revival style, incorporating a Romanesque loggia.
The loggia features trabeated openings separated by red sandstone columns with foliated capitals, and it includes a quoined, pointed arched doorway. The hipped roof of the loggia abuts the tower. The tower has 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 includes a cinquefoil gable window, and the right return has offset buttresses situated between two-light windows that are cusped and foiled, all under pointed arches with hoodmoulds. The south vestibule features 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 has not been inspected. This chapel is part of a mirrored pair of conformist chapels.
