Following the restoration of the two historic Chapels at New Malton Cemetery, the main East Chapel was re-dedicated in May of 2021 and is now being used for funeral services once again. The adjacent West Chapel has also been restored as a facility for the community to use.
The Grade II listed Chapels date from 1859 and had remained unused for almost two decades with their structural condition deteriorating as a consequence. Malton Town Council initiated an initiative to undertake the comprehensive repair and restoration of the Chapels as well as the cemetery.
Treske were commissioned to design chapel furniture for the East Chapel so that it could be used for private prayer, small funeral services, christenings, and other events. Treske made 30 upholstered St Wilfrid side chairs for the congregation and two St Wilfrid armchairs for the celebrants that each had complimentary lecterns. The set was completed with an altar designed with a gothic arch to match the east window of the chapel. All the furniture was made in oak and finished with a light fume.
