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 for 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 and further works have been undertaken, funded by the Council. London Historic Buildings Trust has commissioned an options appraisal, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Council, and The Pilgrim Trust to explore its future use.
