Description

Set at right angles to, and above the level of, Ruabon Road, with associated forecourt. The building is a single-storey brick structure under a roof of diamond-pattern slates, some of which have been replaced by similar asbestos-cement slates. The front faces east, while the north gable end and rear (west) walls are built into a steep slope. Openings have cambered brick heads and windows have stone sills. The front has a doorway to the left and window to the right, both protected by steel shutters at the time of inspection. The window is a two-pane sash window, although the lower sash is missing. The doorway is said to have double doors. There is a single small window in the south gable end.

There are double boarded gates in the cemetery wall facing the street, from where concrete steps lead up to the forecourt. This is bounded by simple concrete retaining walls, with railings on the upper, north side.

The interior is divided into two rooms. The entrance opens to a room with two coffin slabs on brick bases, set against the corners of the room. In the other room is a ceramic mortuary slab, with drain hole, and a ceramic double-basin attached to the wall. The floor is concrete, with integral drainage gullies.
