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 1876, but we understand it was closed in 1982. A Chapel at, or near to this location was first noted on OS 1876-1877 1:2,500. In early days it was labelled simply as "Chap.", but by OS 1919 1:2.500 a Sunday-school is shown attached to the rear, so it was obviously by then of some importance. It was subsequently known as "Sheffield Road Methodist Church", and is marked as such on OS 1965 1:2,500. The Derbyshire Record Office's Non-Conformist Register Guide says that in 1941, its congregation was joined by that of the Ebenezer Chapel in Station Street when the latter was closed. It was almost opposite the old Scarsdale Road, which ran between Sheffield Road and the north end of Avenue Road; but the area it stood in, and the old Scarsdale Road, have now been cleared. The above Guide (under "Whittington Moor") includes records of baptisms 1950-69, and marriages 1939-1980, and a closure date of 1982. It seems likely when it closed, its place was taken by the new Whittington Moor Methodist Church, just across the Dunston Road, to the north-west of the former site. Denomination Now or formerly Primitive 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.
