Cemeteries We believe the Church does 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 1840, and we understand it is still open. The Baptist Chapel in Overseal was, according to Kelly's Directory of 1932, built in 1854, and rebuilt in 1897. The present building looks newer than that, so perhaps this is the Chapel's third building. Old Maps prior to 1897 show the chapel was further along Burton Road to the north, opposite Coronation Street, which was in existence by 1923, so presumably was so named for the Coronation of George V. In fact there may have been an even earlier building, as the return to the Religious Census of 1851 (HO 129/414/2/3/7) records the date of erection of the Baptist Chapel in Overseal as "one thousand eight hundred and forty", as a separate building used exclusively for worship of a "General Baptist" congregation. It had "two hundred and forty seven" free seats and three other sittings; but the estimated congregation on March 30th was only 20 in the morning, and 75 in the evening, so there was plenty of room! There were 44 and 75 Sunday Scholars respectively. The return was completed by William Norton, its Minister, who lived in "Cauldwell, Derbyshire". The Baptist Chapel in Nether Seal was also erected in 1840. Denomination Now or formerly General Baptist. 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.
