Cemetery Chapel

The Cemetery Chapel, originally known as 'No Mans' chapel of ease at Thorverton, was dismantled and re-erected as the cemetery chapel in 1926. It has origins dating back to the 14th century and was possibly restored in the late 19th century before being moved and rebuilt in 1926 due to the risk of demolition. The chapel is constructed from local volcanic ashlar with some Bathstone dressings and features a slate roof.

The building has a simple two-bay layout with ritual doorways on the west end and south side, and a bellcote at the west end. It is set on a low stone rubble platform and aligned on an approximate north-south axis, with the ritual east end facing north. The exterior showcases a small gabled design with a chamfered plinth, diagonal buttresses with set-offs, and coped gables featuring kneelers and a cross on the east gable.

The east window, likely from the late 19th century, consists of three lights and retains moulded medieval jambs, with a hoodmould that has label stops, Flamboyant head tracery, and mullions with moulded capitals, possibly imitating the medieval original. The west end features an ovolo-moulded three-centred arch doorway with a plank door and strap hinges, above which is a likely late 19th-century two-light traceried window with a hoodmould, label stops, and capitals. The gabled coped bellcote has a round-headed chamfered opening, although the bell is missing.

On the ritual south side, there is a chamfered three-centred arch doorway slightly off-center, and to the east, a largely late 14th-century Decorated two-light window with a hoodmould and label stops, featuring principal lights with cinquefoil heads. The ritual north side has a matching window. The chapel was re-erected by the Exeter Diocesan Architectural Society.
