Watts Chapel - Created by Mary Watts
(1849 - 1938) between 1894 - 1904.
"The Watts Mortuary Chapel (locally known as Watts Cemetery Chapel) is a Gothic Revival chapel and mortuary located in the village of Compton in Surrey. It is a Grade I listed building.
When Compton Parish Council created a new cemetery, local resident artist Mary Fraser-Tytler, the wife of Victorian era painter and sculptor George Frederic Watts, offered to design and build a new mortuary chapel. Tytler was a follower of the Home Arts and Industries Association, set up by Earl Brownlow in 1885 to encourage handicrafts among the lower classes, and the chapel was the Watts's contribution to this characteristically Victorian preoccupation with social improvement through creative enlightenment."
