Cemeteries We believe the Church did NOT have a graveyard. Note: any church within an urban environment may have had its graveyard closed after the Burial Act of 1853. Any new church built after that is unlikely to have had a graveyard at all. Church History This Place of Worship was founded in 1847, though it is now closed, but we don't yet know when. Mentioned in Kelly's Directory of 1895 as having 100 sittings, this former chapel is now closed and in private ownership. It seems likely its congregation would have joined with that of St Mary's Anglican Church a short distance down the road, as that is now a Local Ecumenical Partnership. The return to the Religious Census of 1851 (HO 129/448/5/2/5) is for "Crowlane Wesleyan Chappel", township of Unstone, parish of Dronfield, erected "in the year 1847". The space available for worship was 10 yards by 9, with free sittings for 50, and 70 "other" sittings. The "Free Space or Standing Room" was "occupied by Sunday Scholars". The return was completed by John Walker, its Steward, who lived at Unstone Mill. His estimate of the number of worshippers on March 30 was 45 in the morning, and 55 in the afternoon, with 50 and 56 Sunday Scholars respectively, which he remarked was "about the average congregation when the weather was favourable". There were no evening services, nor classes. Denomination Now or formerly Wesleyan Methodist. If more than one congregation has worshipped here, or its congregation has united with others, in most cases this will record its original dedication.

Search Tips:

You can specify either a Place, or OS Grid Reference to search for. When you specify a Place, only entries for that place will be returned, with Places of Worship listed in alphabetical order. If you specify a Grid Reference, Places of Worship in the immediate vicinity will be listed, in order of distance from the Grid Reference supplied. The default is to list 10, but you can specify How Many you want to see, up to a maximum of 100.

You can further refine your search by supplying other search terms.

• You can specify entries with ('Yes') or without ('No') photographs.
• You can specify a church or chapel's Dedication, to restrict entries to those containing the term you supply as a dedication. So for instance, 'John' would return 'St John', 'St Mary and St John', 'St John the Divine' &c.
• You can specify a Street address, and likewise 'George' will return George Place, St George's Street, George and Dragon, &c.
• You can restrict the search to classes of Denomination. The exact denomination is always shown in the results, although the search is for broad types. Thus you can search for 'Methodist', but not 'Wesleyan Methodist' or 'Primitive Methodist'. 'Multi-denominational' includes Ecumenical Partnerships, and 'Miscellaneous' means anything not covered by other broad classes.
