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, and it has since been demolished, but we don't know when.

"Glenorchy Hall" is first marked on Old Maps of post 1955, for example OS 1960 1:2,500. It is one of two buildings on the later OS 1966-1967 1:10,560 Map generically labelled as "Halls". The other is known to have been All Saints Church Hall.

Places recorded by the Registrar General under the provisions of the Places of Worship Registration Act 1855 (2010) lists Kirk Hallam as having a Methodist Church with an address of "Queen Elizabeth Way". Since Old Maps do not show any other suitable building in Queen Elizabeth Way, perhaps this was the Methodist Church Hall.

There is no trace of the building today; its site is occupied by modern housing, whilst All Saints Church Hall is now Kirk Hallam Community Centre.

Denomination

Now or formerly 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.
