The building looks like a mausoleum, but that's just me....

Maybe its a crypt for a Mason infected with vampirism?

That's the spirit!

I don't know what it is so it must be (Satanic/UFO/Sasquatch/whatever)! You don't know what it is either, so you can't tell me that it's not.

I will make a giant leap here and say that I am 100% positive this stone structure was built by masons.

It's what they do.

I am tending to agree...............

FOR COMPARISON

Many college campuses in America (all Ivy League) have tomb structures like the one we are referring to.

Breaking..........latest on the Chapel. We are getting closer
I received an informative email today from the director............I had asked for photos of the interior from the writer of a book on the subject: Betty Longbottom.

Replying to your query on behalf of Betty

Please explain why you would like photographs of the interior of the Chapel.
The Leeds General Cemetery was established in 1835 for the burial of
Dissenters as such it only had 1 chapel, whereas most cemeteries were built with 2
separate chapels for Church of England and Dissenters (by the way Roman Catholics were classed as
Dissenters)

Cemetery chapels were built as a functional space only for the use of Clergy
who would come to conduct Funeral services for members of their churches or others who were
to be buried. I would not therefore expect there to be any monuments to specific persons
inside a Cemetery Chapel.

It is believed that the building is now used as storage for part of the
Leeds University Library.

When you reply to this e-mail we can put you in contact with the Special
Collections Librarian at the
University who may know something more.

www.yorkshireindexers.co.uk hav recently photographed all the remaining
gravestones and put images of them on-line.
Also copies of the records transcribed from the Burial Registers.
