Description

The Henley Cemetery Church of England Chapel is an Anglican cemetery chapel built in 1868. It is constructed from knapped flint with freestone dressings and features clay tile roofs that include bands of shaped tiles, crested ridge-tiles, and stone coping at the gable ends, complete with finials and corbelled kneelers. The chapel has a nave and a short chancel, with a porch located on the liturgical south side of the nave, which also houses an integral bell-tower.

In the Victorian Gothic style, the chapel showcases Decorated window tracery. The exterior has steeply-pitched roofs, corner buttresses with set-offs, and small lancet windows on the north and south sides, all adorned with cusped arches. The east side features a 2-light window, while the west side boasts a large 3-light window, both with Decorated tracery and stained glass. The gabled porch on the north side has a pointed arch and an inner door with ornate wrought-iron strap hinges. To the left of the porch is the integral bell-tower, which has a polygonal stone belfry with a squat spire; both the belfry and spire have been rebuilt. The north doorway also has a pointed arch and plank doors with strap hinges, flanked by two new brick buttresses. A stone string runs around the chapel at window cill level.

Inside, the chapel features a double-chamfered chancel arch without capitals on the responds, a scissor-braced roof, benches, a lectern, an altar rail, and stained glass windows.
