Description

The northernmost chapel in Dalton Cemetery is a disused Conformist cemetery chapel, consecrated in 1862. It is built from squared rubble limestone with ashlar sandstone dressings and features a graduated slate roof. The chapel is designed in the Gothic Revival style, comprising a nave with a rounded apse to the east, a gabled wing, and a loggia to the north.

Architectural details include a chamfered plinth, large quoins, and a trabeated loggia under a catslide roof, supported by three columns with square bases and carved capitals. The loggia also has a chamfered stone gutter. Inside, there are two doorways with decorative iron hinges leading to double doors, and the arches above are double-chamfered with carved hoodmould stops.

The right wing features a string course below two cusped lancets that are linked by a hoodmould, with a quatrefoil above. On the south side of the nave, buttresses are positioned between three 2-light windows adorned with Geometrical tracery and differing heads carved on the hoodmould stops. The steeply pitched roof has shaped kneelers and ashlar gable copings, with a cross at the west apex and a bellcote at the east, supported by clustered colonnettes.

The lower apse has recessed panels with an impost string course connecting cusped lancets, which also feature colonnettes, hoodmoulds, and relieving arches, along with a scalloped eaves band. The roof is semi-conical with an iron finial. The interior fittings have been removed, except for a Gothic Revival wooden screen that separates the nave from the wing.
