Work to rebuild the chapel in Heywood Cemetery, devastated by a fire in February 2021, will begin next year.
Rochdale Borough Council has confirmed that work will begin in January 2023, with completion due by Autumn 2023, with a spokesperson adding: “The completed restoration will be a like-for-like rebuild and include internal upgrades to improve visitors' experience.”
The cemetery dates back to the 1850s with the chapel thought to be of a similar age. The entirety of the building – apart from the stonework – was destroyed in the fire.
