The Wesleyan Methodist Chapel opened in 1805 and was surrounded by cornfields, known as Cadman's Fields. Few non-conformist chapels in the city had their own burial grounds, but the Carver Street Chapel was an exception. About 1,600 burials took place here between 1805-1855, the gravestones sited in a small front graveyard and on both sides of the building. By the end of the twentieth century the chapel had closed and was empty for several years. Some of the graves extended across modern West Street, as well as Rockingham Lane behind. In 1993, in advance of the Sheffield Supertram project, bodies were exhumed from beneath West Street, long-hidden beneath the road surface. Another 101 individuals were excavated from the old graveyard when the new beer cellar for the Walkabout (which now occupies the church) was built. (By David Poole)
