Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox church The Chapel of Rest, Brompton Cemetery, Brompton, Scarborough, in North Yorkshire, England is an early work by the ecclesiastical architect Temple Moore. It is a Grade II listed building.

History

In 1880, the newly-appointed vicar of All Saints, Brompton-by-Sawdon, the Rev. Francis Chambers, instigated a series of improvements to the church, including the closure of its original churchyard, and its replacement by a new cemetery.[1] The construction of a chapel of rest in the new cemetery was financed by Sir George Cayley, the local squire, resident at Brompton Hall.Шаблон:Efn[1] Cayley's architect was Temple Lushington Moore, then aged 33, whose subsequent career saw him design about 40 new churches, and restore many more, becoming "England's leading ecclesiastical architect from the mid-Edwardian years".[2]

Architecture and description

The chapel comprises a broad gable facing the cemetery, with an asymmetrical bell tower ending in a pyramidal roof.[1] Pevsner, in his Yorkshire: The North Riding volume,Шаблон:Efn records its "wonderfully lopsided" appearance, but does not attribute the chapel to Moore.Шаблон:Sfn The chapel was designated a Grade II listed building on 3 September 2019.[1][3]
