Description

The New Cemetery Chapel is an early English Gothic style building constructed from local rubble with simple freestone dressings, featuring slate roofs and gable parapets topped with crucifix finials. The chapel consists of a nave with a south porch and a chancel that steps down, ending in a polygonal east side, along with a north vestry. A distinctive octagonal bell tower with a pyramidal roof is located at the south-east corner; it includes a belfry with deeply splayed lancet openings on each face and a staircase doorway on the east side. The chancel features cusped lancets, while the vestry has a cylindrical chimney stack. The west end is adorned with a Geometric 3-light window. The interior has not been seen.
