Wem Millennium Green
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.

Wem Methodist Church
Viewed across Aston Street. The church is part of the Northern Area of the Shropshire and Marches Methodist Circuit. The first Primitive Methodist chapel in Wem opened in High Street in 1823. After the building became too small to accommodate the congregation, a new chapel was erected in Chapel Street in 1842. That building was used until 1926 when the church seen here opened.
