Description
The two cemetery chapels, likely built around 1855, are constructed from coursed lias stone with dressed quoins and dressings, featuring a chamfered plinth. They have tiled roofs with coped verges and cross saddlestones. The windows display geometric tracery, with a large window on the gable end and smaller windows with gables on each side, illuminating the east ends. Each chapel has clinker-type plank doors with label moulds located on the southwest side. The interior of the south chapel, designated for the Church of England, features a scissor-brace roof and a corbelled 'chancel' arch.
