Mortuary On North Side Of The Old Cemetery

The building is a mortuary, now serving as a mess room, constructed in 1856, likely designed by Michael Drury. It is built of brick and clad with rockfaced stone, featuring a hipped concrete tile roof and a side wall stack with an octagonal flue, reflecting the Gothic Revival style. The structure has a chamfered plinth, a sill band, moulded eaves, and canted corners with buttresses. It is a single-storey building with two bays. The south front includes a central buttress, with a moulded doorway to the left and two blocked pointed arched windows to the right, all adorned with hoodmoulds. In the canted corner, there is a blocked roundel. The west end features a gabled dormer with a stepped three-light pointed arched window. The interior has not been inspected. This building is included for its group value, and the cemetery was laid out by Henry Goddard.
