This is the chapel for the large Croydon cemetery and dates from 1897. There was no sign that this building was being used by the Romanian Orthodox church either at the building itself or at the main road entrances to the cemetery when photographed in 2019. This Romanian Orthodox community no longer uses this building, they are now based in the renovated church hall of St Peter’s on Bishopsford Road.
