Description
The Roman Catholic Cemetery Chapel at Perrymead Cemetery is a Grade II listed building constructed from limestone ashlar with Welsh slate roofs. It features a two-bay nave, a single-bay chancel, and a small southeast vestry.
The chapel is designed in the Gothic Revival style. The west door is adorned with two orders of colonnettes topped with stiff-leaf capitals, and there is an inscription above the pointed arch between the colonnettes. A hoodmould with carved head stops frames the door, which is fitted with original plank double doors and ironmongery. Above the door, the gable features a circular window with three circular lights. The exterior includes diagonal buttresses, with the nave elevations divided into two bays by buttresses, each containing lancet lights with cusped heads. The gables are coped and topped with gable crosses. The coping that separates the nave from the chancel supports a bell cote.
The chancel, a single bay, has a lancet window on the north side and a vestry covering the south side. The east wall is highlighted by a three-light Decorated window with trefoils and quatrefoils in the head tracery, accompanied by a hoodmould. Below this window is a panelled band featuring four marble inscription panels, and above it, a trefoil ventilator and gable cross. The slates on the chancel roof are banded in grey and purple. The vestry includes a two-light east window of a similar design, along with two lancet windows on the sides. A round stone chimney and tile cresting complete the vestry's exterior. The interior has not been inspected.
