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 after 1955, though it is now closed, but we don't yet know when.

This building is first seen on a 1960 OS Map 1:2,500, labelled as All Saints Hall, so it appears to have been built in the late 1950s, to serve the needs of the new housing estate. It is still marked as a place of worship on my Derbyshire Street Atlas of 1995, but now appears to be wholly secular. It is classic 1950s, built of brick, and single-storey, with a cross on either gable.
The following may be of no significance, but I think it's worth mentioning that the map also shows a building labelled "Glenorchy Hall", to the north west of All Saints Hall. Willielma Campbell, Lady Glenorchy (1741-1786) became an influential figure in 18th century non-conformism, following a religious conversion whilst recovering from illness. Her mentor during the time of her conversion was none other than the sister of Rowland Hill, the evangelical Anglican preacher; and particularly after 1771, and the death of her husband, she devoted a lot of her wealth to furthering evangelical causes.
At the time of the 1960s Map, Glenorchy Hall shared frontage with All Saints Hall onto "Queen Elizabeth Way", which (I assume) was built after the Coronation of Her Majesty the Queen in June 1953. There is no sign of the Hall today, however, and its plot appears to be occupied with more recent housing.

Denomination

Now or formerly Church of England.

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.
