Description

The Cemetery Chapel at Caister Cemetery was built in 1902 and is constructed of brick with a roof covered in plain concrete tiles. The chapel features a narthex on the west side, along with two additional rooms. The south wall of the narthex has a rounded entrance arch, which is flanked by two 2-light traceried windows. Brick pilasters rise to pinnacles, with a concave parapet between each. The west end of the narthex consists of three bays, each defined by brick buttresses, and includes three 3-light segmental-headed windows beneath a parapet that sits below a hipped roof, which has a ridge stack.

The chapel itself is composed of four bays, also featuring brick buttresses and three 3-light segmental-headed windows. It has a gabled roof with a prominent 5-light arched window on the east side, situated between brick buttresses. Each side of the buttresses has a short full-height screen wall. Inside, the chapel has a boarded dado and a queen post roof supported by four arched braces that rise from the queen posts to collar purlins and collars. The tie beams are positioned on the arched braces, extending down through wall posts to corbels, with the roof boarded above the collar.
