in Stoke-on-Trent

Henry Ward and Son were responsible for the design of the chapels as well as the sextons and registrars lodges. In common with other cemeteries in the city (such as Hartshill cemetery) there were two chapels. One for the Episcopalians (Church of England) and one for Dissenters (such as Methodists).

Each chapel has a vestry and the two buildings are connected by three open archways. The center was grained and was for a carriageway; the two side arches being for foot passengers. The chapels were built in a symmetrical manner and the tower, surmounted by a spirelet, rises from the centre. The floors are paved with Minton & Co.'s encaustic tiles.
