Wem Millennium Green was one of 245 green spaces created around England to celebrate the turn of the millennium. It is said to be the smallest. The land was used as a burial ground between 1854 and 1935 and the chapel, which dates from the 1880s, served as a mortuary building from 1938 to the early 1950s. Unfortunately, the chapel, although structurally sound, requires asbestos removal before it can be used.
