Morenish Chapel Churchyard, Gatepiers And Boundary Wall, Morenish

The building is a memorial chapel in the Arts and Crafts style, constructed in 1902. It is situated in an isolated rural setting. This single-storey, three-bay, rectangular-plan chapel is built of dressed and coursed granite with buff sandstone dressings. It features prominent crowstepped gables with keystoned arches, and an exaggerated battered profile incorporating engaged buttresses to all angles and the entrance. An east-facing gable displays a floral cross relief, inscribed 'In Memoriam MCMI' and flanked by fleur-de-lys.

The principal (south) elevation has a deeply recessed arched doorway to the far left, containing a boarded and glazed timber door. To the right are a pair of stone-mullioned tripartite windows with corniced cills. The north (rear) elevation incorporates a stone projecting lean-to and a tall, slender, corniced stone chimney stack. Leaded pane timber windows are present throughout, with stone cills. The pitched roof is slated, featuring timber purlins, a stone ridge course, metal gutters, and downpipes.

The interior, viewed in 2015, retains a good Arts and Crafts decorative scheme dating to 1902. A coloured glass window by Tiffany Studios of New York was removed in June 2015. The ashlar vestibule and vestry has two small windows. An arched two-leaf timber door leads to the main worship space, which features a ribbed tunnel vaulted ceiling. A fireplace with an oak overmantel is on the north wall, including splayed ingoes and decorative tiling. Mostly intact fixtures and fittings, in Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau styles, are present, accompanied by ironwork and a decorative font displaying the Todd family monogram. A carved inscription, painted in red, appears around the ashlar arch to the east, commemorating Elvira Wife of H W Henderson and daughter of Aline Todd, born in 1870 and died in 1901.

To the east of the chapel are two exceptional and rare large bronze sarcophagi with inscriptions and decorative floral reliefs in the Art Nouveau style, commemorating Sir Joseph White Todd and his wife Aline Elizabeth (Fanny) Lefebvre. Tapered octagonal-plan gatepiers with exaggerated octagonal caps are located at the entrance and at angles where the low, coped, coursed rubble boundary wall to the north returns from the road.
