Cemetery chapels, now tool stores. 1856. Rockfaced stone and brick, with limestone dressings and patterned plain tile roofs. Decorated style. Chamfered plinth and string course, coped gables. Symmetrical layout with central archway and bell turret flanked by single chapels with side porches. Moulded central archway with hood mould and imposts, flanked by single buttresses topped with crocketed pinnacles. Over the arch, a traceried coped gable. Two stage bell turret has angle buttresses to each stage, the lower ones gabled, the upper ones with pinnacles. Four ogee headed crested openings to the square bell stage. Above again, octagonal needle spire with a tier of lucarnes. Under the arch, a brick vault with stone ribs and on either side a shouldered doorway. On the north side, a memorial tablet, 1918.
