Mid 19th century non-conformist chapel, London Road Cemetery (EHER 81975)

A non-conformist chapel in London Road Cemetery, built in 1856. It is built of red brick with gault brick dressings and a slate roof. There is a modern extension with WC provision.

Of the original two mortuary chapels in the cemetery (EHER 47420), only the non-conformist one has survived. It was built in 1856, of red brick with gault brick dressings to the window and door openings and piers, and with a slate roof. It has two Gothic iron framed windows on each side, a door opening off the main avenue, and, at the opposite end, another door of uncertain purpose, the sill of which is several feet above ground level. There are no traces of external steps. As would be expected on a non-conformist chapel, there is no evidence of a belfry. Recent temporary WC provision adjacent to the chapel considerably detracts from its setting. <1> It is depicted on the 1st edition OS map. <2>
