Description

The Western (Non-Conformist) Chapel and attached urinal at Lavender Hill Gardens of Remembrance is a non-conformist cemetery chapel, now used as a store, built between 1870 and 1871 by T J Hill for the Enfield Burial Board, with J and J Field as the builders. The structure is made of rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof. It consists of three bays with an apse at the west end, a central porch on the north side, and a two-stage eastern bell tower topped with a steeple.

Designed in the Decorated Gothic style, the chapel includes quoins, a plinth, string courses, and offset buttresses. The pointed-arched openings are adorned with decoratively-stopped hoodmoulds, and the windows are traceried. The doors are made of wood and feature 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 tower has gableted and finialled buttresses, with the lower stage featuring an archway supported by elaborately-decorated corbels. Inside, there is an inner doorway leading to a ribbed vault, and one-light windows are present on the returns, along with a foundation stone on the south side. The upper stage of the tower has louvred three-light belfry openings and a corbelled parapet. The broached steeple is detailed with two tiers of lucarnes, a moulded string with gargoyles, and a finial.

The nave contains two-light windows, and the porch features a quatrefoil above the door and spherical-triangular openings on the two-bay returns. To the right of the porch, there is a curved metal urinal with embossed panels and decorative bands at the coved top. The apse has one-light windows and a decorative iron finial. Inside, decorative stone corbels support the sanctuary arch and the arch-braced roof trusses.
