Full Description
The Anglican chapel at Alford cemetery was the subject of historical research in 2014, when an assessment of its significance was produced to inform its proposed conversion to housing. The chapel was consecrated in 1888 and is built in the Victorian Gothic style of red/orange brick with stone dressings and a Welsh slate roof. The chapel is linked to the adjacent keeper's cottage (PRN 49182) by a lych gate (PRN 49183), forming an asymmetrical composition typical of the work of James Fowler. A fine exposed roof structure can be seen inside, along with original tiles and terracotta features. The chapel has been little used since 1987. {1}
