New plans have been revealed for the 150-year-old Delph Chapel
The future of a historic chapel in Oldham has finally been revealed, after a decade-long planning dispute left the building in a dilapidated state.
Pinnacle have claimed they intend to retain as much of the 150-year-old building as possible. The cemetery, which will remain open to the public, will be ‘regenerated’ for the community to improve access to the graves of loved ones, the LDRS has been told. "The exact plans for the site are still to be determined, subject to the extensive exploratory works currently being conducted. The eventual scheme will be designed to beautifully restore the chapel building and surrounding graveyard for future generations to enjoy. We see this project as an opportunity to restore the chapel, creating a vibrant asset that will benefit the town.”
A dispute in 2011 also propelled the chapel into the public eye after local residents were locked out of the graveyard, which is on private land connected to the building.
