South Chapel Church Of England At Dewsbury Cemetery

The South Chapel (Church of England) at Dewsbury Cemetery is a cemetery chapel built in 1859, designed by Jeremiah Marriott & Son. It is constructed of ashlar with ashlar dressings and features a graduated slate roof with coped gables, cross finials, and ornate ridge tiles. The chapel has a rock-faced plinth, a moulded cill band, and diagonal buttresses with set-offs. It has a cruciform plan and is a single storey.

The eastern entrance front includes a projecting gabled porch with a pointed arch doorway that has a moulded surround with shafts and a hood mould. Above the doorway is a small deeply chamfered triangular opening with a cusped circular window and a hood mould. On either side of the porch are single lancet windows. The gabled north and south fronts each have a single three-light pointed arch window with reticulated tracery and hood moulds. At the rear, a projecting gabled wing features single two-light pointed arch windows with reticulated tracery and a tall octagonal stone stack. This chapel is part of a well-preserved group of listed buildings within Dewsbury Cemetery.
