The Nonconformist Chapel
The Nonconformist chapel (Grade II* listed) is built of local
sandstone in an Egyptian style.
The sculpted panel above the door shows a dove. This represents
the Holy Ghost or the Holy Spirit, which is the third part
in the Christian Trinity, along with God the Father and God
the Son.
Stone steps lead down to a wall with catacomb-like entrances.
But these openings do not lead to the houses of the dead -
they are merely decorative.
English Heritage has the task of identifying and protecting
buildings of architectural or historic interest. They inspect
the buildings and award grades:
-
Grade II* buildings are particularly important buildings
of more than special interest
-
Grade II buildings are of special interest, warranting
every effort to preserve them
