The Lancaster Cemetery Chapels are the three chapels, each built to serve a different denomination, in the main cemetery of Lancaster, England. The chapels stand around a central point at the highest part of the cemetery. They were all built in 1854–55, and were designed by the local architect E. G. Paley.[1] The chapel to the west of the central point served the Anglicans,[2] that to the east the Non-conformists,[3] and the chapel to the north was for Roman Catholics.[4]
