Probably J M Johnston, circa 1910. Single storey, gabled, near rectangular-plan chapel, linked to piend-roofed mortuary. Harled with red sandstone ashlar dressings. End gable to main drive flanked to left by half-piend roofed porch, 2-leaf panelled doors with decoratively lead-pane glazed upper panels and ashlar wing walls shielding step; stylised gable with segmental-arched window panel, with keystone and bipartite window. Window panel mirrored on opposite gable end. Window to side. Mortuary linked at angle with linking passage.
Leaded glazing (see below). Grey slate roof. Ashlar coping to gable wallheads.
INTERIOR: original decorative scheme in place with Art Nouveau details. Inner door with glazed upper panels of decorative leaded glazing and coloured glass. Boarded dado. Segmental barrel-vaulted ceiling. Further decorative stained, leaded glass to windows. Screen dividing link to mortuary with decorative glass panels above dado level and Glasgow Style curved woodwork below ceiling bean above; further en suite decorative 2-leaf doors.
The chapel may be later in date than the main buildings of poorhouse date, probably dating from the redeployment of the site as a hospital soon after 1909.
