Description

The Cemetery Chapel, built in 1855, is the remaining structure of two chapels designed by Mr. Peck of Cooper & Peck in London, one intended for Anglicans and the other for Nonconformists. It is constructed from coursed stone blocks of Kentish ragstone, featuring freestone dressings, and has plaintiled roofs adorned with ornamental ridge-tiles, reflecting an Early English style.

The exterior includes a nave and chancel with two very short transepts, and a small square turret with an octagonal top stage and a spirelet is attached to the south side of the nave at the angle with the south transept. The windows are all three-light with cusped tracery, pointed hood-moulds, and foliated bosses. The west entrance features multiple mouldings in the pointed arch and an outer keeled hood-mould with foliated bosses. A keeled stone band runs around the side walls below the window-sills at impost level, and there is a stepped band below the three-light west window. The building is further supported by angle buttresses at the east and west ends and diagonal buttresses at the transepts. The interior has not been inspected.
