St Mary's Burial Chapel, Honley, West Yorkshire

Can anyone help me with any information about this cemetery and chapel which opened in 1857?

What sort of thing are you hoping to find out?

There's an earlier thread about it here: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=736192.0

which includes a link to a site specifically about the cemetery: http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~honleycemetery/genealogy/index.htm

Take a look at these, and if you need further help, just ask.

Thats a good start - thank you.
I need to write something about the Burial Chapel and the cemetery - a basic history, who provided the land, the finance, who opened it, who is buried there ( Mary Jagger?), who designed / built the Chapel, when was it closed?

I wonder if anyone in Honley Civic Society would know anything? - https://www.honleycivicsociety.co.uk/
