Pair of attached mortuary chapels. 1871. By Henry Masters.
Squared Pennant rubble with polychromatic limestone and
sandstone dressings and granite details, and slate roof with
striped pattern and decorative iron ridge.
Axial plan of 2 chapels linked by an open cloister with a
central tower. High Victorian Gothic Revival style. Alternate
red and white voussoirs to the arches; either side of the
tower are blocked lancet arches over low, shouldered openings,
with a central red column and crocketed capital. The tympanum
on the SW side has a carved tableau of Christ and the
disciples, and on the NE side the inscription GREENBANK/
CEMETERY/ OPENED 1871/ ENLARGED 1881; above are crocketed
flush gables with angel corbels at the eaves.
The base of the tower has a scalloped, weathered ashlar eaves
course, leading to an octagonal section with oculi at the top
and a weathered coping course; a timber spire was taken down
in 1952. Either side are open lancet arcades of 2 bays on grey
shafts with crocket capitals, ending in small cross-gabled
vestries with 2-light windows with Decorated tracery and a
ridge stack. The ends form 2 chapels, Church of England to the
S and Nonconformist to the N, which have apsidal bays either
side and an open porch in the ends.
The bays have 5 pointed gables containing traceried lancet
arches, with figures between; on the nave ridges are square,
leaded lanterns set on the angle, with a steep roof and iron
finial. The porches have encaustic tiles, a bench seat each
side and a 2-leaf lancet door with strap hinges. The open
entrances have paired red sandstone shafts beneath pointed
arches, and gablet kneelers to the coping above.
INTERIOR: open timber roofs on shafts with foliate corbels, 3
arched doorways on engaged shafts into the vestries, within a
grand relieving arch with inscribed texts, and an
encaustic-tiled floor.
