The cemetery chapel is a grade II listed building with Historic England.
Between 1976 and 1987, Gloucester City Council deliberately destroyed many attractive marble and granite memorials from the Chapel Side of the Old Cemetery, solely to allow better access for industrial sized lawn-mowers.
Details of the gravestones, including the epitaphs carefully chiselled many years previously, were at least recorded and the transcriptions are available to view in the National Archives and via Gloucestershire Family History Society.
[8] The cemetery chapel, located on the north side of the site, was designed in the Gothic style by Medland and Maberly for the Corporation of the City of Gloucester.
It is symmetrical with parallel chapels for Anglicans and Nonconformists joined by a central carriageway and a grade II listed building with Historic England who describe it as "a fine example of the type of linked chapels often provided in corporation cemeteries in the C19".
