Description

The building is a Cemetery Chapel, listed as Grade II. It consists of two chapel buildings for different denominations, connected by a tall pointed gabled archway. The chapels are constructed from coursed roughly dressed red and buff sandstone, featuring buff ashlar dressings. They have steep-pitched Welsh slate roofs adorned with moulded apex stones and kneelers, each topped with a stepped stack and a decorative gabled chimney. The layout of the chapels is staggered, with the northern chapel stepping forward and being taller than the southern chapel. Each chapel has a projecting bay on its outward side, and there are opposite inner doorways beneath the archway. The pointed archway is designed in two orders, chamfered and with face stops. The windows display alternating Geometric and intersecting tracery, along with plain triangular quarry glazing. The doorways are fitted with hoodmoulds that have face stops and double doors, and there are half-height diagonal corner buttresses. The fittings are no longer in their original positions.
