Description
The chapels in Tottenham Cemetery, built between 1856 and 1857 by George Prichett, are a pair of cemetery chapels featuring Kentish ragstone ashlar dressings and fishscale slate roofs adorned with iron crestings. They consist of an Anglican chapel and a non-conformist chapel, which are connected by a shared bellcote (currently without a bell) and a small room situated above the central arched carriageway, along with porches on either side. The non-conformist chapel is now used as a storage space.
Each chapel has an identical structure comprising three bays, a lower angled apse, and porches that create a prominent cross-axis in the design. The windows and bellcote showcase cusped decorated tracery, with the smaller apse windows featuring square heads and the liturgical 'west' window displaying reticulated tracery. A stone cross is positioned on the gables of the bellcote and on the small window behind it. The vaulted carriage arch is supported by stone ribs and bosses.
Inside, the chapels have open timber truss roofs, tiled floors, and panelling at the impost level, along with tinted quarry glass. The Anglican chapel still retains its pews and features late 19th-century stained glass in the 'east' and 'west' windows, the latter illustrating the resurrection. The non-conformist chapel has lost its pews but remains unpainted and contains 20th-century glass in its 'east' and 'west' windows.
