Abney Park Chapel

Local nameAbney Park Chapel
LocationLondon, UK

Abney Park Chapel, is a Grade II Listed chapel, designed by William Hosking and built by John Jay that is situated in Europe's first wholly nondenominational cemetery, Abney Park Cemetery, London.

Opened in May, 1840, it was the first nondenominational cemetery chapel in Europe. It helped pioneer the early use of the Dissenting Gothic building style, and encouraged renewed interest in the careful blending of earlier styles.

It was primarily the work of a small design team consisting of George Collison II; William Hosking; the builder John Jay, and George Loddiges. The chapel's first minister was the Rev. John Jefferson, who officiated for more than a quarter of a century.
