HISTORY: the exact function of the building is not certain,
but mortuaries including chapels of rest were found at
hospitals, and generally have only roof lights, with the
chapel at one end. The eaves detail matches that on the
isolation wing (qv). Tied by detailing and fenestration to an
important function dating from early in the hospital's
history, this is a rare example of its type, and included for
its historical interest with the other listed buildings.
