Former Cemetery Chapel at Colyton Parish Cemetery, Colyton.
The Cemetery is owned and maintained by the Parish Council. It is listed on Find-a-grave (visit link) and Billion graves (visit link)

"The council had considered demolishing the disused Chapel of Rest in the parish cemetery. Instead, the chapel was converted into a bat house in collaboration with the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Partnerships project 'Looking Out for Bats'. A new mezzanine floor provides a warm loft, gaps were opened to provide better access, and a large insulated 'warm box' allows bats to huddle together in the winter. The cemetery is a haven for six bat species, lesser horseshoe bats quickly moved into the new roost."
