South Chapel At Duffield Cemetery

The South Chapel at Duffield Cemetery is a cemetery chapel built in 1880, designed in the High Victorian Gothic style. It is constructed from rock-faced gritstone with gritstone dressings and features a plain tile roof. The gables are stone-coped, with moulded kneelers and a cross finial on the east gable. A moulded stone eaves cornice runs along the roofline. The chapel consists of a nave and a lower polygonal apse, with a north porch tower.

All the windows are trefoiled lancets, except for the west window, which has bar tracery. The north elevation of the nave includes a central porch tower with a double chamfered doorway that has a hoodmould adorned with foliage stops and a gable above. Tall diagonal buttresses with two set-offs support the structure, and there are plank double doors with elaborate iron hinges. Above the doors, two trefoil windows are positioned.

The porch tower tapers into an upper stage, with broaches marking the transition from a square base to an octagonal bell stage. This stage features an open colonnade of stumpy colonnettes with richly detailed foliage capitals and an octagonal cap. On either side of the porch, there is a single trefoiled lancet, accompanied by shallow buttresses. The polygonal apse has three similar trefoiled lancets, and the south side also contains three lancets.
