1899 – Design for Crematorium, Nottingham

“The Corporation of Nottingham held a competition recently, and Mr. Aston Webb, F.S..V., acted as assessor, when he selected the design now illustrated, the authors being Messrs. Arthur E. McKewan and Alfred J. Dunn, AA.R.I.B.A., joint architects. The group consists of two chapels, one for the Church of England and one for the use of the Nonconformists. Each have waiting-rooms and vestries. In the centre is located a crematorium chapel, the furnace to same being placed to the rear. The cloister, extending along the facade and binding the three chapels into one composition, is planned with niches to take a series of urns containing the ashes of cremated persons. Mansfield stone is intended for the walling throughout, with Westmoreland slates for the roofs. The block plan shows the arrangement of the scheme, which is the first complete establishment of its kind promoted by a municipal authority in this country”
