Old Mortuary Chapel

The Old Mortuary Chapel is a large, free-standing chapel built on a vaulted undercroft, constructed from local limestone rubble. It features a slate roof with an upstanding parapet at the edges. The entrance to the undercroft is located at the west gable, with bone-holes positioned on the north, east, and south sides. The bone-holes on the north and south sides remain in their original condition, while the one on the east is hidden behind a mural monument. Access to the chapel itself is via an external flight of steps on the north side, leading to a door in the northwest corner. Some stone tracery and the dressed arch of a blocked east window can still be seen.

Inside the chapel, fragments of the original three-light east window are present, although they are partly obstructed by a later, smaller window and a fireplace, with the flue from the fireplace occupying part of the old window space. In the southeast corner, there is a piscina with a trefoiled ogee-headed hood. A modern window has been inserted into the original lancet opening in the north wall, and there is a water-stoup with a simple pointed head in a recess next to the entrance door. The roof is supported by six trusses, with a half-bay at each end, spanning 5.4 meters. The collar beams are high, cambered, and tenoned into the principal rafters, with two rows of purlins on each side.

The undercroft features an elliptical vault made of rubble limestone, spanning about 5 meters with a rise of approximately 1.5 meters, and it is constructed without ribs. The north and south walls that support the vault are about 1.2 meters thick.

On the exterior of the east wall, there is a monument dedicated to John Relly, who died in 1777, and was a notable early leader of the Calvinist Methodist movement.
