Britain's What's On Event Guide
Anglican Chapel open day
Heritage Open Day: The Anglican Chapel, London Road Cemetery, will be open to visitors from 11am – 5pm and there will be cemetery tours during the day. Talk from Coventry Police Museum at 4pm. The Anglican Chapel was built as part of Joseph Paxton’s overall design for London Road Cemetery, opened in 1847. London Road Cemetery is one of the early Victorian garden cemeteries and was designed to be park for the living as much as a resting place for the dead. The paths follow the contours of the medieval quarry on the site and the tree planting creates a relaxing, tranquil space. The Chapel will be open during the day, refreshments will be available and there will be tours of the cemetery. Numbers on the tours will be limited to 25 and these will be available on a walk-up basis, not pre-bookable. At 4pm there will be a talk in the Chapel from Coventry Police Museum.
