Methodist New Connexion Church, Ilkeston

Methodist New Connexion Church,
Stamford Street,
Ilkeston, Derbyshire.

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 1889, though it is now closed, but we don't yet know when.

A Methodist New Connexion congregation was established in the early 1880s, originally meeting in the former Wesleyan Chapel on Market Street.
Just a few years later, in 1889, it was replaced by a new building in Stamford Street, and apparently demolished soon after, as windows from the old Market Street Chapel were transferred to the new building.
Unfortunately in 1892, the Stamford Street building suffered some damage, after an explosion occurred during a magic lantern show, which also resulted in several people being injured, and one death.
Nevertheless it has survived until the present day, and it is now home to a carpet business.
The Chapel it replaced used to stand on the east side of Market Street, opposite its junction with Gladstone Street, for which see the separate entry in this database, and Churches and Chapels, to which I am also indebted for this account.

Denomination

Now or formerly Methodist New Connexion.

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.

Please note the above provides a search of selected fields in the Derbyshire section of the Places of Worship Database on this site (churchdb.gukutils.org.uk) only. For other counties, or for a full search of the Database, you might like to try the site's Google Custom Search, which includes full webpage content.
