Description

The Cemetery Chapel is a mortuary chapel built in 1866, designed in the Early English/Decorated style. It features ashlar stone construction and has a very steeply pitched roof covered with bituminised slate. The chapel is a single cell structure with a stone bellcote located over the west gable end. Above the Early English style west doorway, there is a rose window. On the north and south sides, there are three lancet windows with trefoiled heads. The east side has a three-light window with trefoiled tracery. All windows are adorned with dripmoulds that have naturalistic head stops. The chapel also includes corner and side buttresses with set offs. The date "1866" and the initials "MR" are displayed in a trefoil panel above the west doorway.
