Description

The cemetery chapel, built in 1866 by Hine and Evans of Nottingham, is constructed from rock-faced red sandstone with timber-framed porches. It features a clay tile roof adorned with scalloped tiles and gabled ends, which have stone coping and apex crosses, although the cross at the west end is missing.

The chapel has a single-cell rectangular plan with large porches at the north and south entrances. In the Early English style, the exterior includes small chamfered lancet windows flanking a depressed two-centred arch doorway. This doorway has double chamfers and features plank double doors with ornate wrought-iron hinges. The large gabled timber-framed porches have open cusped arch panels and alisee patee crosses at the gable apexes. Both the east and west ends have small two-light plate-tracery windows, and a bellcote in the form of a gabled timber canopy is located at the apex of the west gable. The window arches are decorated with polychromatic voussoirs, and the plinth has chamfered weathering.

Inside, the chapel has an arch-braced king-post roof structure, plastered walls, stained glass windows, panelling at the east end, and benches.
