Ed Sheeran and his new private chapel (from 3.5 million euros). There is also a central nave inside.

Have you ever thought about planning your postmortem? Ed Sheeran, yes. The singer has finished work on his private chapel, complete with morgue, on the grounds of his huge home in East Suffolk, England. Work on the religious building began more than 19 months agobut now the scaffolding and plastic covering have been removed, making it fully visible to the villagers for the first time.

Planning documents describe the building as a place where the singer and his loved ones can “retreat for contemplation, prayer and relaxation.” Chapel, ca. 65 meters and equipped with a spiral staircase, it was installed on the edge of the singer’s estate – nicknamed “Sheeranville» by local residents – close to their hometown, framlingham, in Suffolk. Sheeran, 32, who lives with his wife Cherry and two children, originally planned to build a large chapel, but the planners rejected those plans.

Ed Sheeran is acquitted of plagiarism charges. “He didn’t copy Marvin Gaye”

protests

Some neighbors objected to the construction, saying that there were already enough churches in the area. But the singer has made a new request for a smaller space, which has been approved by East Suffolk Council. Last January, the singer, who is currently touring America, received permission to add a 30-foot, six-person burial vault, large enough to fit two bodies under earth. plate on the floor.

The planning documents explain that it will be built on the east side of the singer’s property because “the rising sun is relevant to both Abrahamic and Eastern traditions.” The text emphasizes that Sheeran’s church is not intended to outshine the nearby medieval Anglican church in his village.

What is inside

The building has central nave with eight banks, spiral staircase which leads to one small gallery and the main study space, as well as a lead roof, flint walls, and stained glass windows. Local councilors say Sheeran will need a license if he wants to hold weddings at the chapel, but that would mean it would be open to the public for three years.

It is known that Sheeran bought five neighboring houses to create his country retreat. The British press speculates that the singer spent £3m (approx. 3.5 million eurosed.) for major repairs, including the construction of a pub, a tree house, an underground music hall and tunnels.
