Once registered with an agency as a highly rated spot for filming horror movies, a little corner of Monmouth has been brought into the 20th century and can now boast a modern heritage facility, powered by solar energy. It is also now a unique site, renowned for its biodiversity.

The chapel at Monmouth Cemetery was once an old and decrepit building used as a store room for Monmouth's Christmas lights, among other things, and the grounds were overgrown in places where no mowers could reach.

A breath of new life was blown into it, though, when management of the chapel was handed over to Debbie McCarty, of Monmouthshire County Council's (MCC) area working team in Monmouth, who asked the town to help change it.
