Description
The Nonconformist chapel at Dorking Cemetery, built in 1856 by Cubitt and Sons to the designs of Henry Clutton, is a cemetery chapel in the Early English style. It has an octagonal plan and is constructed of flint with stone dressings, featuring a tiled roof adorned with bands of plain and fishscale tiles and metal finials. The building is defined by buttresses that create distinct bays and includes trefoil-headed lancets with dripmoulds. A projecting gabled porch with a tiled roof consists of three bays and has trefoil-headed openings. There are no surviving fittings inside. This chapel is one of two cemetery chapels, along with a combined lodge, entrance arch, and mortuary chapel, all part of the same design.
