The Chapel at the Sale and Ashton upon Mersey Grave Yard

This Chapel was built in local stone in 9 months. The nearer you were buried to the Chapel the more it cost. If you lived out side the Sale boundaries it cost almost double. Paupers were buried in mass graves in certain areas. No coffins sometimes no clothes The bodies were kept in a Morge till there was a good few.
