Description
The Cemetery Chapels, built in 1866 by Bellamy and Hardy, feature a symmetrical design and are constructed from rusticated coursed and squared rubble with slate roofs that have scalloped bands and ridge cresting. The structure consists of two chapels, each flanking a central entrance arcade topped by a tower. The central tower is positioned over an ogee archway, supported by angle buttresses and topped with crocketted pinnacles leading to a brooch spire. Side arches, which spring from corbels, connect to the chapels, which are accessed from within the arcade. Each chapel has two-light Decorated windows facing northwest, situated beneath a pinnacled gable. The side walls contain three windows, with the higher central window set within an advanced coped gable. The southeast end is canted and features Decorated windows along with octagonal chimneys.
