Britain's What's On Event Guide
Anglican Chapel, London Road Cemetery
Heritage Open Day: Designed by famous architect Joseph Paxton, London Road Cemetery is an early example of the 19th century ‘garden cemetery’ movement, developed not only as a burial site but also as place of natural beauty for the people of Coventry to enjoy. Appointed in 1845, Paxton incorporated the hilly layout of the former quarry the site sits on into his design, and brought in a range of exotic trees from abroad. He also commissioned two chapels: a Nonconformist chapel designed to look like a classical temple and an Anglican Chapel in a Norman style.
Those buried in the cemetery include most of the city’s Victorian pioneers of transport, especially in the emerging bicycle and car industries.
