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 by 1999, and we understand it is still open.

This is a late 20th century building built of Derbyshire stone, and set into the bankside of Kingsgate, approached by a sloping ramp at the west and, and by a set of steps at the other. It replaces an earlier Village Hall, previously the site of the Reading Room.

The following notice in The London Gazette of 15th September 1999 (p.0) recorded its registration for marriages:

A Building certified for worship named KINGDOM HALL, Kingsgate, Calver in the registration district of Bakewell, in the Non-Metropolitan County of Derbyshire, was on 2nd September 1999, registered for solemnising marriages therein, pursuant to section 41 of the Marriage Act 1949, as amended by section 1(1) of the Marriage Acts Amendment Act 1958. Dated 9th September 1999.

Denomination

Now or formerly Jehovah's Witness.

If more than one congregation has worshipped here, or its congregation has united with others, in most cases this will record its original dedication.

Further Information

This site provides historical information about churches, other places of worship and cemeteries. It has no affiliation with the churches or congregations themselves, nor is it intended to provide a means to find places of worship in the present day.

Please also remember that whilst the above account may suggest that Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses remains open and accessible, this may not remain so.
