Chapel At Rosary Cemetery

The Chapel at Rosary Cemetery, built in 1879 by E. Bohrdman, is a Gothic revival cemetery chapel located on the north-east side of Rosary Road. It features knapped flint with stone dressings and a plain tile roof. The structure includes a 2-bay nave, a chancel, a south porch, and a belfry above a porte-cochere. The nave has two-light windows and the chancel has single-light windows in a pentagonal apse, all with 2-centred cusped heads and drip moulds. A three-light traceried window is located on the west side, designed in a similar style. The nave is supported by angle buttresses and has gable parapets with shafted kneelers at the west end, while the east end is plain. Access is through a double-leaf door with wrought iron hinges in the porch, which has a 2-centred arch with stiff-leaf capitals. The attached porte-cochere features 2-centred arches on three sides, angle buttresses with pinnacles, and a pyramid roof topped by a belfry with moulded wooden detail and a shingled roof. Inside, there are 2-centred arches in the chancel and south with stiff-leaf capitals, and an arch-braced roof supported by stiff-leaf corbels. A re-set tablet on the south porch states: 'The Rosary burial ground for persons of all denomination registered at the office of the Lord Bishop of Norwich June 14th 1821.'
