Carlisle Cemetery Chapel

Carlisle Cemetery Chapel is a mortuary chapel, formerly the Anglican chapel, built between 1855 and 1856 by Messrs JM & J Hay of Liverpool. The chapel is constructed of Flemish bond red brick on a moulded plinth, with all dressings made of calciferous sandstone. It features flush stone quoins, a sill band, buttresses, and a modillioned eaves cornice. The roof is steeply pitched and covered with graduated greenslate, complete with coped gables and finials, and a decorative trident-speared cast-iron ridge rail.

This small, 4-bay chapel is aligned north-south and includes a north door that faces another chapel, a west porch, and a corresponding east transept, along with a north open bellcote. The north entrance features double plank doors with scrolled wrought-iron hinge brackets, set in a pointed arch of two orders. There are lancet side lights beneath a continuous hoodmould, which has carved stone heads of a king and queen as springers. Above the door is a rose window. The west porch has a similar doorway. The windows throughout the chapel are 2-light and have cusped heads, while the south side features a 4-light traceried window with hoodmoulds over each window, adorned with carved head label stops.

Inside, the chapel has an open timber roof, with trusses supported by low carved head corbels. Some stained glass includes the IHS motif, and the pews are not fixed, with a 20th-century altar present.
