Description
Trailtrow Chapel is a burial ground with roughly quadrangular shape, featuring rubble-built walls that enclose 18th and 19th century stone monuments. It includes the Murray aisle and is likely the site of the former Trailtrow chapel, with the Repentance tower incorporated at the northwest corner and a gateway located on the north wall.
The Murray aisle, built in 1800, incorporates an existing aisle and features an inscription. It has a rectangular plan and is unroofed, constructed from stugged ashlar with polished margins. The aisle includes a corniced gateway facing west, an eaves course, and a cornice, along with an iron gate that has inscribed panels above it. Monuments are displayed on the inner walls.
Most of the monuments are located near the south wall of the enclosure, with several showcasing impressive classical ornamentation.
