Description

The Nonconformist cemetery chapel at Henley Cemetery was built in 1868. It is constructed from knapped flint with freestone dressings and has a clay tile roof. The chapel features a nave and a short chancel, along with a north entrance porch.

The exterior showcases steeply pitched roofs adorned with bands of shaped tiles, crested ridge-tiles, and stone coping on the gable ends, which include finials and corbelled kneelers. There are remnants of a dismantled bell-cote over the east end of the nave. The chapel has shallow buttresses with multiple offsets, a stone plinth-course, and a string-course at the base of the windows. The east window has two lights, while the west windows have three lights, both featuring Geometric Decorated tracery. The north and south sides have small cusped lancet windows. The pointed-arched doorways on the north and south are fitted with doors that have ornate wrought-iron hinges.

Inside, there is a simple rendered chamfered chancel arch and a scissor-braced roof. Most fixtures and fittings have been removed.

This chapel is recognized for its architectural interest, being well-built and detailed, and for its group value, as it pairs with the nearby Anglican chapel, together forming the centerpiece of an intact Victorian cemetery landscape.
