Brading Congregational Church and Burial Ground
An Independent Chapel existed in Brading in 1846 when a meeting was held there to discuss the establishment of Day Schools on the religious principles of the British and Foreign School Society[1]; this led to the establishment of the British Schools next to the later Congregational Church.
A new Congregational Church (sometimes referred to as the Independent Chapel) on the Mall, Brading, was established in 1848 to accommodate 196 worshippers[2].
The burial ground behind the church includes burials from 1847 to 1974
The church became a United Reformed Chapel in 1972 and closed 31 March1989[3] due to decreasing congregations; it is now a private residence.
The Burial Ground can be accessed down the track by the side of the Chapel and also by steps up from New Road.
