Middle Claydon cemetery 'chapel' - rear view

Image: © Robin Webster Taken: 22 Feb 2014

This tiny building is hardly a chapel, although it looks the part from the front. At the rear, it is open to the elements with a chicken wire bird screen (ineffective - there was a nest inside). Inside there is an inward-facing bench on each side seating in total about eight, and little else, with just about room for a coffin. It is locked up, but its belfrey seems to continue in use as required, as a wire is led through the back door enabling bell tolling from the outside.
