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 1892, but we understand it was closed in 1978.

This Chapel was built on the north side of Mansfield Road by the side of River Doe Lea, and it must have been an idyllic spot, before the A617 bypass was built, as Google Satellite view shows it surrounded to the north by fields, with an abundance of hawthorn bushes, and trees to the south. Today, however, with a busy dual carriageway nearby (under which, by the looks of things, the River is culverted), it must be quite noisy.

The Chapel was, according to Derbyshire Record Office's Non-Conformist Register Guide, built in 1898, and closed in 1978. Chapel records cover baptisms for period 1902-1977 (no marriages). In the present day, Google Satellite view shows a building standing where the Chapel used to be. It is not known whether this is the Chapel building, or a replacement, but in either case, it is most probably in private ownership.

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.
