Hi does anyone know who owns the Holme Lane Chapel (tong street, Bradford) graveyard.
I am concerned and would like to try to save it. It is an important pieces of Bradford's history.
It has been previously ear marked for "destruction" and the bodies re-interred to allow for industrial units to be built on it.
Any help, contact or meet up appreciated.
Hi,
I was looking into this before christmas as I have family in there I think.
Bradford Council themselves are hopeless, they suggested contacting the archdiocese even though it's a completely different religion / church. Obviously the archdiocese had no idea.
The national congregational church also couldn't help as it had been too long and they don't have to keep records the way the CofE do.
Basically it requires a land registry search, which I would have done eventually when I've got more time to be able to arrange a visit and spend more time on it.
West Yorkshire Archives I think have a burial record for the monuments in there.
If you arrange a day for clearing let me know and I'll try and arrange a visit up to help.
David
