Description du lieu patrimonial
The Earlswood Cemetery and Chapel is a Municipal Heritage Property located 18 kilometres south of Wapella within the Rural Municipality of Martin No. 122. The property contains a small wood-frame chapel built in 1958 and a cemetery dating from 1885.
Valeur patrimoniale
The heritage value of the Earlswood Cemetery and Chapel lies in its role as a symbol of the connection between the original pioneers and the area’s current residents. Started in 1885, the cemetery was situated next to the oldest Presbyterian Church in the area. In 1958 the original church burned down and the current wood-frame chapel was constructed. Although the new chapel does not replicate the architecture or functionality of the original church, it stands as a symbolic representation of the original building and the religious nature of the property. The church and cemetery are situated on a well-maintained plot of land, bordered by sporadically placed trees and shrubs.
