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 before 1895, but we understand it was closed before 1979. This building would have been one of two Mission Rooms mentioned in Kelly's Directory of 1895 at Alton, one being "Church", and the other "Nonconformist". Both would have had services on Sunday afternoons and evenings. The other one is shown as early as OS 1879-1880 1:2,500 as a Primitive Methodist Chapel, though by OS 1917 1:2,500 it had been "demoted" to a Mission Hall, by which time the building at this position, also marked "Mission Hall" is shown. Both were built of stone, and are still standing, though appear to have had a limited life as places of worship. The Methodist Chapel is still shown with a '+' on my OS Map of 1979, but the Church Mission Hall is not. 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.
