Cemetery, North Mortuary Chapel

The North Mortuary Chapel in the cemetery was built between 1854 and 1855 by C.E. Davis of Bath and is designed in the Early English style. This low cruciform stone building features a tower at the southwest corner. It has gabled buttresses and coped verges, with a tiled roof. The gables are adorned with staggered lancet triplets. The west end has a pointed entrance with wrought iron work on the door, and there is another entrance below the tower. The tower is a fine three-stage structure with corner buttresses. The upper stage has an octagonal gabled arcade with head stops to the coping, including one shaped like a death's head, along with corner pinnacles, a short spire, and a weathervane on top. The middle stage is square and has paired subdivided lancets, side piers, gabled buttresses, and gablets on the angles featuring foiled arches on shafts set in the wall. The heavy lower stage includes subdivided pointed arches. Inside, the chapel is notable for its ribs that are unattached to the vaults and a supporting post at the ridge of the roof.
