Description

The Nonconformist Cemetery Chapel, built in 1871, is now used as a store by the Corinium Museum. It was designed by Medland of Gloucester and constructed by W Hinton of Cirencester. The chapel is made of rock-faced limestone with ashlar dressings and features a clay tile roof. It has a cruciform plan with a three-bay nave and a semi-circular apse at the east end, a north porch, and a corresponding vestry on the south side. The west gable is topped with a crocketed spirelet.

The east end showcases three pairs of lancet windows with cusped heads and hoodmoulds that have foliar stops, while the west end features a similar three-light window with geometrical tracery, a lantern with a bell, and a crocketed spirelet at the apex of the gable. The gabled north porch includes a pair of diagonal boarded studded doors with decorative strap hinges, set in a moulded stone surround with a cusped opening and hoodmould with foliar stops. The sides of the chapel have lancet windows with cusped heads and hoodmoulds with foliar stops, a plinth with a chamfered top, a weathered band course below the windows, and weathered side and angle buttresses. A wrought-iron cross is mounted on the spirelet, and a similar finial is located at the apex of the roof at the east end. The interior has not been inspected.
