Description

Cemetery chapels built in 1870 by William Sugden, constructed from coursed and squared stone with a heavy slate roof featuring ridge-cresting. Designed in the Gothic style, the chapels have a central entrance arch with a tower and spire above, flanked by two chapels. The exterior includes a moulded archway beneath a two-stage tower, with chamfered plinths on the stepped upper stages and heavy pinnacles on the top-most plinth. The spire has an octagonal base with gabled lucarnes on each face. Each chapel has an entrance beneath the main archway on either side. The chapels feature three-light Decorated windows with geometric tracery that incorporates a rose, as well as low paired windows in the chapel porches with stilted arched doorways. The chapels are divided into two bays by buttresses, each bay containing a two-light window with curvilinear tracery and three-light geometric windows on the east side. The interior has not been inspected.
