Description

Brighton and Preston Cemetery Mortuary Chapel is a cemetery chapel built around 1900. It is constructed from flint with red brick dressings and stone around the windows, topped with a tiled roof and a shingled spire. The building has a simple design consisting of two bays, a tower, and a spire, featuring brick bands and brickwork at the corners.

The east window has three stepped lancets with ogee heads, while the north and south sides each have two four-light windows with similar details and a broad buttress between them. The north vestry has flat-arched windows that are now blocked and a pointed-arched entrance. The west tower has a buttressed west face with two small lancets on the second stage. The lower part of the tower is open on the south side, creating a large porch under a chamfered and sub-ordered arch. There is a pointed-arched entrance to the chapel on the east side, featuring mouldings instead of chamfers and a dripmould. The spire is splay-footed and has lucarnes.

Inside, the chapel is simple, with panelled seating around the walls.
