Swansea residents with loved ones and ancestors buried in a chapel's historic cemetery fear they will no longer be able to visit their loved ones' graves when the land and buildings are sold.
Members of the recently formed "Bethel Relatives Group" - local people with relatives buried at the cemetery at Bethel Chapel in Sketty - are also concerned the grounds will no longer be maintained properly when the building, which dates back to 1870, changes hands. They say well known people, including one of the soldiers who fought in the battle of Rorke's Drift, made famous by the film, Zulu, are buried there.
The Chapel, located in Carnglas Road, is a Grade II listed building and is on the market with estate agency Rees Richards & Partners for £400,000, to include the chapel building, adjoining chapel vestry and a recently renovated three-bedroom detached home, set within four and a half acres of land.
