Description

The Baptist Cemetery Chapel, now a cemetery store, was built around 1812. It is rectangular in shape and features a principal elevation on the west side made of well-finished coursed gritstone with gritstone dressings, while the other three walls are constructed from rubble limestone. The building is single-storey with a wide eaves course beneath an overhanging hipped roof, which is slated and has lead rolls along the ridge and hip ridges.

The west elevation includes a wide central pointed-arched doorway with double planked and studded doors, flanked by lancet windows that also have pointed arched heads. The rear wall has two larger pointed arched window openings. All window frames have been removed, though one cast iron frame with intersecting glazing bars remains inside the building. The interior has suffered fire damage and lacks notable features. This chapel is of special interest as an early 19th-century Baptist cemetery chapel, distinguished by its Gothick detailing.
