Description
The former cemetery chapel is constructed from squared grey limestone with Bath stone dressings and features a slate roof with coped shouldered gables. Built in the Decorated Gothic style, it is a single rectangular structure with a thin tower and an octagonal spirelet at the northwest corner. The north front includes a lancet window with a hoodmould above a pointed doorway, both of which are double chamfered and have hoodmoulds. The door hood is linked to a string course on either side. The chapel has a raised plinth and tooled limestone buttresses at the corners. The entrance features double board doors with 20th-century glazing in the overlight.
The chapel has five-bay sides with ashlar corbelled eaves and buttresses. On the west side, the tower rises from the first bay, with a pair of cusped lancets in the second bay, a single cusped lancet in the third and fourth bays, and a blank fifth bay. The east side is similar but has a blank first bay. The tower features a tall lancet window at ground level, chamfered ashlar coping above the chapel eaves, and a square inset second stage with flat buttresses at the corners. Above this is a thin octagonal bell-stage with lancets on the cardinal faces and an ashlar spire above.
The south end wall has clasping buttresses at the angles and a 2-light traceried window with cusped lights and a cinquefoil head, complete with a hoodmould and string course beneath the sill.
Inside, there is a porch with a boarded ribbed ceiling. A plaque from 1854 lists the names of Rev W Hayward Cox, the rector, and churchwardens J M Henton and T Thomas. The roof is three-sided, supported by four tie-beam trusses with queen-posts and curved angle struts, extending down to wall-posts. The west end window features patterned stained glass with texts dedicated to W L Duckworth, who died in 1846.
