Notes Cemetery chapel and wall. Dated 1861. Coursed and squared Devonian limestone rubble with red-brick quoins and wall tops. Slated roof, gable-end on to street. Consists of a small oblong room with a wide doorway in the middle of front wall and a matching one (now blocked) in centre of rear wall. Gothic style. One storey. Tall, wide chamfered doorway with pointed arch and double plank doors; flanked by 2 lancet windows with pointed arches; 6 panes per window. Above the doorway is a shield inscribed A.D.1861. Front has red-brick quoins and red-brick wall tops, the latter finished with a stone coping and kneelers. Side-walls each have 2 lancet windows with pointed arches (now blocked). Retaining wall finished with red bricks, 3 upright ones alternating with 3 headers; chamfered coping on top. Pilasters break the wall face at regular intervals, these rising above the coping where they have red-brick quoins and gabled caps. INTERIOR of chapel: plain with exposed tie-beam trusses having raking struts from tie to principal. A few original benches remain. An early example of polychrome Gothic. This is a nonconformist chapel with its own cemetery at the rear, abutting the C of E churchyard of St Mary the Virgin (qv). Listing NGR: SX9218055196 Facts
