Cemetery Chapel, Wrexham Cemetery
Wrexham Cemetery is located on Ruabon Road, Wrexham, and covers an area of 7.2 hectares. The layout of the cemetery was designed by Yeo Strachan. Originally consisting of 10 acres immediately to the rear of the cemetery chapel, the cemetery was designed as a 'garden cemetery' for the 'passive recreation of the people of the Borough'. During Victorian times, walking through cemeteries was a popular pastime. Most of the original layout has been preserved and features much of the original tree planting undertaken by Strachan. The Cemetery Chapel was designed by John Turner and is now a Grade II listed building. Wrexham Cemetery acts as the main burial site for Wrexham, 37,000 burials have taken place at the cemetery since its opening in 1876, with current operation levels being 200 burials per year.

Renovated and rejuvenated Chapel
Considerable sympathetic renovation has resulted in this cemetery chapel being restored into an usable facility for the future instead of a storage space for groundwork equipment. Which work included the surrounding railings and the gate posts.
