The Chapel was built in 1854 as a Dissenter's mortuary chapel. There is a Church of England Chapel Image elsewhere in the cemetery. It is a Grade II Listed Building and the English Heritage Listed Buildings website describes it thus:- "Nonconformist funerary chapel. 1854, to designs of Barnet and Brick. Kentish ragstone facing plinth of brick; stone dressings. Roof of slate, gable facing. Rectangular in plan; three bays. Gothic Revival. Traceried roundel in ritual east end (this one); centre and east most bay with broad, two-light tracery windows; west most bay with narrower light to each return and polygonal stair projections which lead to substructure; angle and clasping buttresses of two setbacks each. West front most prominent with subordered entrance and planked double doors having metal strap hinges; three-light window - with intersecting tracery and ogival hood above; gable copings, kneelers and crosses. Part of a group of mid c19 buildings which includes the Anglican chapel, the Gate lodge, Entrance and railings on East End Road." Apologies for the skip being present.
