Woodvale Crematorium
II
Cemetery chapels (to former Lewes Road cemetery), now
crematorium. 1857 with crematorium of 1930. Flint with
sandstone dressings, roofs of slate. North (Anglican) and
south (Nonconformist) chapels either side of a tower and
spire; in front of the tower, a gabled carriage arch under
which the hearses passed, emerging on the far side of the
tower.
EXTERIOR: the carriage arch is pointed, moulded and
sub-ordered with an ogee dripmould leading up to a decorated
corbel carrying the figure of an angel in the gable; the arch
is now closed by a scheme of memorial tablets. Either side of
the arch is a single-storey linking wing with a window with
intersecting tracery and quatrefoil panelling to the parapet.
Tower of 3 stages with corner buttresses and belfry carried up
into gabled lucarnes, broach spire, with corner pinnacles now
simplified.
The 2 chapels are of identical design, presenting gables to
east and west: low angle buttresses; east and west windows
with geometrical tracery, quatrefoil window to gable; the
north and south sides have pointed-arched entrances in
buttressed and gabled porches, and 2-light, pointed-arched
windows with geometrical tracery to either side.
At the south-east corner, the single-storey crematorium with
octagonal chimney, all detailed in flint and sandstone. The
crematorium was the first in Sussex.
