Description

The Cemetery Chapel, dated 1881, is located on Mount Pleasant Road in Wisbech. It is constructed of limestone and features slated gable roofs with red, patterned ridge tiles. The chapel is a single storey, with the main building flanked by a lower range to the west and a gabled entrance porch to the east. The design includes corbelled gable parapets with stone finials and angle buttresses of two stages. The south gable showcases a three-lancet-light window, which has pierced, patterned lights above it, set in a two-centred arch with a moulded label.
