Cemetery Chapels

The cemetery chapels, built in 1857 and altered since, are located on Nightingale Road in Godalming. They are constructed of Bargate rubblestone with ashlar dressings and feature plain tile roofs. The building has a U-shaped plan with a central range of three bays and chapels forming cross-wings, designed in the Decorated style.

The central range includes a gabled bay with walling rendered above the chamfered plinth. It features a full-width wood-framed window with five cusped lights, of which all but the second and fourth lights are blind. The gable has an arch-braced king-post set on a head corbel and decorative barge boards. The flanking bays have archways on the inner side, each with a decorative cast-iron gate and a cusped opening beyond, leading into an internal porch with a tiled floor. Each side of the porch has a board door with decorative iron hinges, with double doors leading into the chapels.

Each chapel is supported by offset diagonal buttresses and features an ovolo-sectioned sill band. They have a three-light Decorated window with leafy stops to the hoodmould, shaped kneelers, ashlar coping, and decorative ridge tiles. There is also a one-light window on the inner return and a three-bay outer return with buttresses and a two-light window flanked by one-light windows. The rear of each chapel has a three-light window. The central range has a central board door with an offset stack above it and flanking two-light windows.
