Description
The Eastern Chapel in the Cemetery is a chapel dating from around 1864, currently undergoing renovation as of January 1984. It is constructed from rough-dressed coursed, squared rubble set on a chamfered plinth and features buttresses. The chapel has a steeply-pitched graduated slate roof with a gabled bellcote at the south end, along with stone copings and kneelers on the gables. It has a Latin Cross plan, consisting of a single tall storey with three bays. The east side has a lower vestry at the center. Both the north and south ends have doors with pointed heads, each set under a shallow gabled porch. The south porch is distinguished by having a single, squat polished granite column with a foliate capital on each jamb. The windows are single-light with cusped heads, except for the projecting central west bay, which features a large traceried window.
