Cadw's description
Location
Located some 50m S of the parish church of St Mary, at the southern boundary of the churchyard.
History
Hearse-house erected at the expense of Edward Owen of Fachlwyd in 1823.
Exterior
Rectangular gabled hearse-house of rubble construction with slated roof. Wide segmentally-arched entrance to the front (road-facing) gable, with rough-dressed voussoirs. Original chamfered and pegged oak frame and boarded pine doors, the latter with vertical vents cut into them and with restored lower sections. Above the entrance is an inset rectangular sandstone plaque with the inscription: 'This hearse-house was erected and given by Edward Owen Esq. of Fachlwyd for the use of this parish, 1823'.
Interior
Plain interior to hearse-house.
Reason for designation
Listed for its special interest as a dated first-half C19 hearse-house, providing good group value with the Parish Church of St Mary, its churchyard walls and lychgate. An especially well-preserved example of a relatively scarce building type.
