Info

Strong fire doors were fitted in the corridor. We have since put up emergency, information & fire stickers. The disabled toilet was fitted with handrails, a baby changing facility and a pull chord in case of an emergency. The fire shutters operate from the kitchen. An oven, hob and microwave were installed. The exterior
We purchased an electric clock which automatically changes and is personalised with the ‘Friends of Wombwell Cemetery’ written in gold on a green background. The plaque, fitted on marble, explains that the clock is a commemoration to the restoration of the chapel. It can be seen just above the Barnsley Pals Memorial, below the clock. Our Open Day When we had our open day, we invited the Mayor of Barnsley, a representative from the Heritage Lottery Fund, WREN and FCC, the Lord Lieutenant (who had wished to attend but sent a representative), our architect Sean, Barnsley Chronicle, and Anthony, head of the Bereavement Services who supports us and works closely with us. We even had a surprise visit from our Chicago friend, Maureen who acted as photographer for the day! A lot of the community of Wombwell joined us to celebrate the opening of the Community Hub, and many said how wonderful it was compared to what they remembered it like – some even when it was in use as a chapel!
