Cemetery Chapel, Including Retaining Walls At Either Side

The cemetery chapel, including the retaining walls on either side, was built in 1861. It is constructed from coursed and squared Devonian limestone rubble, with red-brick quoins and wall tops. The chapel features a slated roof with a gable end facing the street. The building consists of a small oblong room with a wide doorway in the center of the front wall, and a matching doorway at the rear wall that is now blocked. Designed in the Gothic style, the chapel is one storey tall and has a tall, wide chamfered doorway with a pointed arch and double plank doors. This doorway is flanked by two lancet windows, each with pointed arches and six panes. Above the doorway is a shield inscribed "A.D.1861." The front of the chapel has red-brick quoins and wall tops, which are finished with a stone coping and kneelers. Each side wall has two lancet windows with pointed arches, which are now blocked. The retaining wall is made of red bricks, arranged with three upright bricks alternating with three headers, and features chamfered coping on top. Pilasters interrupt the wall face at regular intervals, rising above the coping and capped with red-brick gables.

Inside the chapel, the space is plain, showcasing exposed tie-beam trusses with raking struts connecting to the principal. A few original benches remain, representing an early example of polychrome Gothic architecture. This nonconformist chapel has its own cemetery at the rear, adjacent to the Church of England churchyard of St Mary the Virgin.
