Hove Cemetery opened in 1882, at which point the chapels, a lodge, gateway and boundary walls were constructed, predominantly in flint. The Chapels were designed by Mr EB Ellice Clark, surveyor to Hove Commissioners, in a 13th century style. They have flint and stone walls to the exterior, with Chelmsford brick to the interior. The roofs are of slate. The design is strikingly symmetrical: The chapels are of matching design, with a gatehouse with turret joining the two.
v The symmetrical design of the chapels is well executed, and is therefore of particular aesthetic and design interest.
iii The chapels form the centrepiece to the 1882 cemetery design. As such, they are its focal point around which the design is united.
i The chapels themselves appear to remain largely intact. They are also set within their original cemetery setting, which retains much of its original design and character. There is a sense of completeness to the group.
ii They still function as cemetery chapels
