Hearse House, Chapel en le Frith
Hearse House - stands opposite the Town Hall on the main road. It was built in 1818 to accomodate the parish hearse, which was available to parishioners to hire for a fee - though they had to provide their own horse, be it owned, loaned, or hired from elsewhere! The inscribed stone above the arched doorway of Hearse House reads: Hearse House The inscription can be seen in close-up, below.
