Description

The Anglican Cemetery Chapel, built in 1871, is 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 rectangular three-bay plan with a three-sided apse at the east end, an octagonal turret with a spirelet at the northwest angle, and a projecting vestry on the south side, all in the Decorated style.

The east end showcases three lancet windows with traceried heads and hoodmoulds that have foliar stops, along with three gables featuring carved finials and four gargoyles. The west end includes a pair of diagonal boarded studded doors with decorative strap hinges set in a moulded stone surround, topped by a gable with crocketed coping and three crocketed finials. There is also a pointed window with geometrical tracery and a hoodmould with foliar stops, a coped gable with a finial over a kneeler to the right, and a stone cross at the apex. The octagonal turret to the right has a lantern with a bell and a crocketed spirelet topped with an iron cross. 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. The interior has not been inspected.
