We have 3 Images Above Photograph(s) Copyright of Janet Kirk Ironville Old Cemetery, Ironville Ironville Old Cemetery, Casson Street / Bullock Lane, Ironville, Derbyshire. Church History This Cemetery or Burial Ground was founded after 1852, and we understand it is still open. The original Ironville Cemetery (or burial ground) was laid out behind the church, on the opposite side of the former Pinxton Canal. No burials ever took place in the ground surrounding the church itself, but the two areas were connected by a wooden bridge over the canal, allowing funeral processions to go directly from the church to burial ground. The original plot belonged to the Church, but it was later adopted by the Local Authority, who subsequently opened a new Cemetery on the opposite side of Bullock Lane. Today, it may be a surprise to learn that this was ever a burial ground, as very few headstones now remain in situ, due to deterioration, and their subsequent removal, and the ones that do are largely hidden by trees and the stone wall. There is an area allocated for burial of created remains, but otherwise burials now take place in the new Cemetery. Happily however for researchers, the Derbyshire Ancestral Research Group were able to transcribe the inscriptions prior to the stones being removed, and a transcription can be consulted in their Meeting Room. The old burial ground is much bigger than it may appear. In 1895, at the time of publication of Kelly's Directory of that year, the Cemetery was said to be about 3 acres. There was no mention of when it was opened, though this is assumed to have been at the same time, or shortly after the church was built (1851-2).

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.
