Inscription. Reading-based architects W.F. Poulton and W.H. Woodman designed the chapels in the gothic style. They won the contract in competition, specialising in Non-Conformist churches, and were successful in competitions for several cemeteries in central southern England. Both chapels were grade II listed in 1992 as good examples of early Burial Board architecture.

R Gibbs describes the chapels as following, in his book History of Aylesbury: "their exterior is of rubble work with Bath stone dressing; they are gabled, and on the summits are finials, croslet, and other ornamental crosses; each has a small spire, the one attached to the Episcopal building containing a bell; the buildings are buttressed; the principal windows are of the decorative style, giving the erections a light and pleasing appearance".

In 2015 Aylesbury Town Council refurbished the dissenters' (non-conformist) chapel, thanks to a New Homes Bonus Grant, received from Aylesbury Vale District Council, to bring the chapel back to its former glory, and to ensure that it can be used again by the community.

and receptions after funerals. The chapel comfortably accommodates up to 50 people standing or 30 people seated at round tables of 10. A smaller area at the back of the chapel has been converted so that it can be used by catering companies.

Erected by Aylesbury Town Council.
