Description
The Chapel at Cromer Old Cemetery is a disused cemetery chapel built between 1860 and 1861. It features finely coursed knapped flint with flint galletting and red brick dressings. The slate roof has brick coped gables, kneelers, and terracotta finials. Designed in Gothic style, the chapel includes buttresses and angle buttresses with set-offs. It is a single-storey structure with opposing double doors at the west end, flanked by two single-light windows separated by buttresses. The ends of the chapel have three-light windows with loopholes above, although all windows were boarded as of 2004.
Inside, the chapel retains box pews with fielded panels, arranged in a collegiate style on either side, with a pulpit linking them across the east end, featuring Gothic detailing on the front panels. There is an additional pew across the entire west end. The end windows have diamond leaded-light glass finely painted with decorative crosses and colored glass borders, with similar glazing partially present in the side windows. A brass plaque at the west end commemorates the gift of the land for the cemetery and the windows by Benjamin Bond Cabell in 1860 and 1861. The roof is supported by curved braces to collars that rise from stone corbels.
This chapel is a finely detailed small structure notable for its well-preserved box pews and pulpit, and it forms a cohesive group with the four listed headstones in the cemetery.
