Uploader's Comments

Pevsner says "At the NE corner is the delightful small mortuary chapel erected for J.R.Pease in 1866. Ashlar with stone slated roof, rectangular of three bays. Blank pointed arcades to each side and Transitional-style arches of three orders open to E and W all with stiff-leaf capitals. Stone-vaulted interior." The Buddleias growing in the stone-work add a distinctly Piranesi "Ruins of Rome" effect.
