Description

The South Mortuary Chapel is a cemetery chapel built between 1854 and 1855 by C.E. Davis of Bath, designed in a modified Early English style. It is a low, four-bay chapel featuring a short, narrower polygonal chancel and a tower at the northwest end. The structure is made of stone and includes gabled buttresses, coped verges, and a tiled roof. It has short lancet windows and the main entrance on the west side features a pointed archway below a staggered triplet, with ironwork on the doors. The three-stage tower is topped by a small tented pyramidal roof over a shaped corbel cornice. The upper stage has a simple rectangular opening with engaged shafts, while the weathered capping of the second stage displays triple lancets and corner buttresses. The lower stage features pointed arches of two orders with a label. There is a lean-to extension to the east of the lower stage, which is joined to the chapel, with the entrance located below the tower.
