10/1 Ruined chapel on west side of Church Hill II
Mortuary Chapel, 1870. Snecked rubble with roughly-tooled quoins and dressings, except for ashlar south doorway. Roofless. Romanesque style. Small rectangular building. South wall has doorway with chevron, pellets and zigzag ornaments; upper parts of jamb shafts remain, with scalloped capitals. Round-arched chamfered windows in south, west and north walls; similar paired lights in east gable. Steeply-pitched gables with moulded kneelers and coping partly fallen.
Built 1869-70 at a cost of 177.6s.3d. raised by public subscription, as part of a plan to re-open the cemetery on Church Hill (site of the ancient parish church of St. Waleric, the remains of which were destroyed by the 1806 flood). Included for historic interest.
