Description
The Cemetery Chapels, built in 1854, serve as the Church of England and Non-Conformist Cemetery Chapels, and are now used as an ecumenical cemetery chapel and store-room. They are constructed of stock brick with limestone ashlar dressings and feature an ornamental slate roof with stone coped gables, decorative ridge tiles, and cross finials.
The chapels are single storey and are divided by a tall pointed archway topped with a tower that has four-stage diagonal buttresses and upper gablets leading into ornate corner pinnacles. An octagonal spire rises above, adorned with tall trefoil-headed openings and ornate gablets on each side, culminating in a finial. The underside of the tower showcases a rib vault with ornate corbels and bosses. Both chapels have plinth and sill bands running around them.
On the west side of the north chapel, there is a single pointed window featuring single cusped ogee-headed lights flanking a pointed, cusped light, with flowing tracery, a hood mould, and head label stops. The north side has a central projecting rectangular bay, with single pointed windows on either side, each containing two pointed, cusped lights, hood moulds, and head label stops. The return walls of the projecting bay have small trefoil-headed lights with hood moulds and head label stops. The projecting bay also includes a pointed plank doorway with hood moulds. The east end features a pointed window with three cusped, ogee-headed lights, flowing tracery, a hood mould, and head label stops.
The south side has a pointed doorway set beneath the tower arch, with double plank doors and a hood mould. The south chapel mirrors the north chapel's design, with its doorway located on the north side beneath the tower arch, while the projecting rectangular bay to the south has its doorway blocked. The interiors of both chapels are characterized by lierne rib vaults with ornate bosses and angel corbels.
