Description

The Round House is a hearse house and lock-up, dated 1827 above the door. It is a small, single-storey octagonal building made of brick, topped with a slate roof that has a stone cap. The entrance features a wide double doorway on one side, which has a brick arched head, and the corners of the entrance front are chamfered outwards. There are also two small barred windows, each with a brick arched head.
