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 1875, but we understand it was closed after 1919. Kelly's Directory of 1932 mentions there was a United Methodist Church at Old Whittington, built in 1875, to seat 130. This may be a reference to the former place of worship marked as "U.M. Church" on OS 1919 1:2,500, and located on the corner of Albert Road and St John's Road. In common with the majority of other chapels in this area, it has now been now demolished, and its site now occupied by new housing. It is separated from the rest of Old Whittington by the A61 Chesterfield Bypass, but there must have been this separation ever since the coming of the railway, as the A61 apparently follows the line of the former Great Central railway line. Note: Kelly's Directory also mentions a United Methodist Church at Whittington Moor. In the absence of other information I am assuming this was the former chapel on the corner of Duke Street and Sheffield Road, which was marked on OS 1876-1877 1:2,500 as "Free United Methodist". Denomination Now or formerly United 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.
