The cemetery chapel was built in 1931 for the then Solihull Urban District Council and enlarged in 1958 with the addition of a crematorium. This view from the east along the avenue of ancient Arden oaks, supplemented by more recent holly bushes, shows the earlier part of the building, which is in the Umbrian Revival style that was especially popular in the Midlands at that time.
