Mortuary Chapels. In a curious arrangement, St. Michael's Cemetery and All Saints and St. Thomas's Cemetery stand adjacent, of similar size and orientation, off Rotten Row. Each cemetery has/had a double mortuary chapel, each one consisting of a CoE and a Nonconformist chapel, and each double chapel standing only 50 metres from the other. Aerial views suggest that only the All Saints chapel survives. Details - All Saints, aligned roughly north-south, the more northerly being the Coe, and centred at TQ 4072 0977. The St. Michael's chapels, aligned roughly east-west, CoE to the west, TQ 4077 0978. I haven't been able to find any photos, or been able to find a Streetview of the surviving chapels.

Providence Baptist Chapel shows on older O.S. maps off Lancaster Street, at TQ 4159 1043. Genuki, which has a good photo, dates it to circa 1860-1932. It can just be glimpsed at the left along the pathway seen in a Streetview from 2024.
