The Chapels at Paddington Cemetery, Willesden Lane - Brent

Mid-C19 twin Anglican and Nonconformist chapels connected by a pair of carriage-porches and a central bell tower. Designed by Thomas Little in 1855 as part of a new cemetery. The vacant buildings are isolated within the cemetery and too dangerous to use. In 2020 Historic England awarded a Covid-19 Emergency Heritage at Risk Response Fund grant for holding repairs to the walls, roof and rainwater goods, with the purpose of allowing the Heras fencing surrounding the building to be removed. Additional work to finalise this, funded by the Council, started on site in April 2023.
