1901 – Cemetery Chapel, Bexhill-on-Sea, Sussex

“THE accompanying drawings show the accepted design for the cemetery chapels to be built at Bexhill. The buildings are intended to meet the needs of the Church of England as well as nonconformist services. The outside walls are to be built hollow in well-burnt bricks and faced with rubble and Park stone dressings. The interior walls to be faced with kiln bricks. The roof to be boarded with V-jointed boarding, battened, felted, and covered with tiles. The principals, rafters, and purlins to be of Oregon Pine, wrought and framed, and twice varnished with copal varnish. The cost for the erection of the first chapel is estimated at £S00. The work is for the Bexhill Urban District Council, and the scheme was the subject of a competition. Mr. W.H. Alton, of Bexhill, is the architect.”
