The title is taken from the hit song "Chapel of Love" by The Dixie Cups in 1964. There has been many other versions since by other famous artists.
Now I love this little chapel in the small hamlet of Shortwood in Gloucestershire, but was shocked recently when I visited and found an auction sign on the building. It seems it could become a home or a hall or anything not related to it's original purpose. It has also been suggested as a children's day nursery.
Please, this is a beautiful tranquil place where people have been laid to rest, and I think this should be respected.
I'm off my soapbox. Best viewed with the magnify button above the pic.
@killeen@byrdlip@virtualbrownie Thank you all. They leave the graves there, they date back to the 1700's. That's one thing that worries me if it becomes a children's nursery, image them running around on top of the graves,
a great shot Heather and a lovely place of worship for so many years, undoubtedly listed prob Grade 1 so will protect the building at least. Not so the usage and its part in the community image if this was your place of worship for many years its a shame eh !
sorry me on my soap box too .
