The trust planned to conserve the chapels and to bring them back into use as a venue for civil ceremonies.[5][6] This project also aimed to create resources to encourage people to discover more about their local heritage and nature conservation, in particular via a resource-pack for schools and a nature trail.[7] The refurbishment was completed in early 2016, the building is now in use as a secular registration office and has been renamed as the Thomas Robinson Building.[8][9] War GravesThere are 25 Commonwealth service personnel buried in the cemetery in graves maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, 15 from World War I and 10 from World War II.[10] As part of the restoration plan, an illustrated book telling the stories of the 29 soldiers connected with the cemetery (15 buried in Commonwealth War Graves and 14 others killed in action who are commemorated on family graves and memorials) has been produced.[5] Cemetery RoadThe cemetery gave its name to Cemetery Road which runs along its front boundary and in which can be found the Holly Bush, one of the oldest pubs in Lye, and the rear of the grounds of Lye Cricket Club.[11] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.dudley.gov.uk/community-and-living/deaths-funerals--cremations/burials--graves/cemeteries--crematoriums-within-the-borough/lye--wollescote-cemetery|title=Lye / Wollescote Cemetery|date=2009-05-13|publisher=Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council|accessdate=13 February 2010|location=West Midlands, England}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Lye and Wollescote Cemetery Chapel|url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-492002-lye-and-wollescote-cemetery-chapel-stour|work=Listed Building in Stourbridge|publisher=British Listed Buildings|accessdate=9 April 2012}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=West Midlands Historic Buildings Trust|url=http://tmcbuildingconservation.co.uk/projects/west-midlands-historic-buildings-trust/|website=tmcbuildingconservation.co.uk|accessdate=26 January 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Lye and Wollescote Cemetery Chapels|url=http://www.lyeandwollescote.info/|website=www.lyeandwollescote.info/|accessdate=26 January 2015}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|title=Lye and Wollescote Cemetery Chapels|url=http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/caring/get-involved/take-ownership/case-studies/lye-and-wollescote|website=www.english-heritage.org.uk|publisher=English Heritage|accessdate=26 January 2015}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Lye chapel revamp project receives a £42k funding boost|url=http://www.stourbridgenews.co.uk/news/local/your_community/wz/wollescote/10154640.Lye_chapel_revamp_project_receives_a___42k_funding_boost/|website=www.stourbridgenews.co.uk|publisher=Stourbridge News|accessdate=26 January 2015}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Lye & Wollescote Cemetery Chapels building conservation project|url=https://secure.thebiggive.org.uk/projects/view/3528/lye-and-wollescote-cemetery-chapels-building-conservation-project|website=secure.thebiggive.org.uk|publisher=The Big Give|accessdate=26 January 2015}} 8. ^{{cite web|title=Lye & Wollescote Cemetery Chapels|url=http://www.lyeandwollescote.info/|website=Lye & Wollescote Cemetery Chapels}} 9. ^{{cite web|title=The Building Conservation Project|url=http://www.lyeandwollescote.info/lwproject.htm|website=Lye & Wollescote Cemetery Chapels}} 10. ^{{CWGC cemetery|id=39448|name=Stourbridge (Lye and Wollescote) Cemetery|access-date=2 February 2018}} 11. ^Lye Cricket Club on Wikimapia External links
