The chapel is a Grade II Listed building located within Bouncers Lane Cemetery, which is itself a Grade II Listed park and garden.
The Old Chapels (north and south) were designed in the Gothic style between 1862-1864, comprising two mortuary chapels liked by a porte-cochere and central tower.

Through proactive engagement with the Council, Morgan Elliot Planning successfully navigated the heritage considerations and delivered approval for the Listed Building Consent application.

The approved scheme will return the Grade II listed building back into a sustainable future use into a private wake facility and a public café. The North and South Chapels will be used as private wake facilities, maintaining their traditional function as spaces of remembrance. The later reception/waiting room will be converted into a public café with a small kitchen and service counter. The existing toilets will be retiled and redecorated.

The new use represents a sensitive, appropriate and well justified reuse of the Old Chapels and associated reception room. It will create a sustainable use for the redundant building and address conservation and amelioration works.
