Description
The cemetery chapel at Mansfield Cemetery, built in 1857, is partly used as a store. It is constructed of rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and features steeply pitched patterned slate roofs, showcasing the Gothic Revival style. The chapel has a plinth, short gabled angle buttresses, and coped gables with kneelers and crosses.
The central tower entrance includes a bell turret and spire, flanked by chapels with side porches. The square tower has two stages, with small flanking buttresses and chamfered string courses at each stage. The ground stage features a moulded segmental pointed archway with a hoodmould and stops, above which are two small lancet windows. At the rear, there is a shouldered window. Under the arch, on either side, are pointed-arched double doors with a moulded surround. The blind second stage has stepped diagonal buttresses topped with crocketed pinnacles. The octagonal bell turret has a stepped base and eight closely spaced lancet bell openings with stone tracery, separated by thin buttresses, under steep gables with finials. The plain octagonal spire has a finial and cross.
The front and rear gables of the chapels each contain a three-light pointed arch window with varying Decorated tracery, hoodmoulds, and stops. The outer sides feature, towards the rear, two two-light pointed arch windows with tracery, hoodmoulds, and stops, separated by a stepped buttress. Towards the front, there is a steeply gabled porch with a pointed-arched doorway, hoodmould, and stops, flanked by a single lancet on either side. The inner sides of the chapel have similar double lancets with a buttress between them. The east chapel has an external side wall stack.
Inside, the functional east chapel has a rendered interior with an arch-braced roof. At the front, there is a stone reading desk, and to its right, a large tablet with a crocketed gable. At the rear, double doors are located on each side, and plain benches are set lengthwise.
