Description

The Hearse House, built in 1818, is an undertakers cartshed that has been converted into a garage. It is constructed from coursed gritstone with flush gritstone dressing and quoins, topped with a stone slate roof. The building stands two storeys high with its gable end facing the road. It features a large arch with prominent imposts and a dropped keystone, beneath which are double doors. Above the doors is a stone plaque that reads 'Hearse House/Erected 1818. Samuel Grundy, Minister. Stephen Bellott and Adam Fox, Martinside - Churchwardens'. There is also a bulls eye window with four keystones located in the hayloft. To the east of the building, there are ten steps.
