What is recorded here

This green commemorative plaque records: The Dissenters' Graveyard. An independent chapel ('The Temple') stood here from 1818 to 1871. After a long period of neglect the site was made into a leisure garden for the people of Ripon in the Festival Year of 1986. Recorded plaque organisation: Ripon Civic Society.
The Dissenters' Graveyard marks the former site of an independent chapel ('The Temple') which served nonconformist religious groups from 1818 to 1871, reflecting the historical significance of dissenting movements in England. The transformation of the graveyard into a leisure garden in 1986 highlights the evolving relationship between communities and their historical spaces.
