Eastern (Anglican) Cemetery Chapel at Lavender Hill Gardens of Remembrance

The Eastern (Anglican) Cemetery Chapel at Lavender Hill Gardens of Remembrance is an Anglican cemetery chapel built between 1870 and 1871 by T J Hill for the Enfield Burial Board, with J and J Hill as the builders. The chapel is constructed from rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof. It consists of three bays with an apse at the east end, a central porch on the north side, and a two-stage western bell tower topped with a steeple.

Designed in the Decorated Gothic style, the chapel includes quoins, a plinth, string courses, and offset buttresses. The painted-arched openings are adorned with decoratively-stopped hoodmoulds, traceried windows, and board doors fitted with decorative iron hinges. The eaves cornice is decorated with leaf motifs, and there are gableted kneelers along with ashlar stepped coping and a cross finial. The rainwater downpipes feature griffin heads.

The tower has gableted and finialled buttresses, with the lower stage containing an archway supported by elaborately-decorated corbels. This stage also features decorative iron gates, an inner doorway, and a ribbed vault, with 1-light windows on the returns. The upper stage has louvred 3-light belfry openings and a corbelled parapet. The broached steeple is adorned with two tiers of lucarnes, a moulded string with gargoyles, and a finial.

Inside, the nave has 2-light windows, and the porch features a quatrefoil above the door and spherical-triangular openings on the two-bay returns. To the left of the porch is a 20th-century toilet block, which is not of special interest. The apse has 1-light windows and a decorative iron finial. The interior includes decorative stone corbels supporting the sanctuary arch and the arch-braced roof trusses.
