Church Of England Chapel Richmond Cemetery

The Church of England Chapel at Richmond Cemetery is a cemetery chapel built in 1875 by Sir Arthur Blomfield. It is constructed from squared hammer-dressed Kentish ragstone, featuring Bath stone bands and decorative elements. The chapel has a tiled roof with remnants of a fleche and stone coping on the gables, which include cavetto mouldings. It has a cruciform plan and a buttressed gable front that features a Gothic entrance arch inscribed with the words "IN THE GARDEN THERE WAS A NEW SEPULCHRE, THERE LAID THEY JESUS," along with diapered spandrels. Above the entrance are three lancets, with the central one being blind, and hood moulds; there is also a wheel window in the apex, although the apex stone is missing. The side elevations contain two lancets and transept gables with two-light windows that have foliate-pierced plate tracery. On the west side, there is a "belfry" that conceals a flue terminal from a fireplace. At the rear, there are three long lancets and a consecration stone. Inside, the chapel features a trussed-timber open roof, sedilia, a piscina, a tiled floor, altar steps (with the altar removed), a fireplace, and two bench seats.
