Old Tupton Methodist Church, Tupton, North Wingfield

Old Tupton Methodist Church,
off Nethermoor Road, S42 6EN,
Tupton, North Wingfield, Derbyshire.

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 1843, and we understand it is still open.

Old Maps show that in the early days of this Chapel's existence, there was no made-up road leading to it; and on the earliest Maps, dated 1878-1885, it is shown surrounded by Coal Mines ("Tupton Green Colliery") on 3 sides. It is labelled as Methodist New Connexion, then post-1907 as "United Methodist", and lastly by 1975 as "Old Tupton Methodist Church".
The North Midland Railway reached Tupton in 1840, and the village began to expand from a series of scattered farmsteads into a sizeable township, with many of its residents employed in the Colliery. According to Old Tupton Methodist Church website, a New Connexion society was formed in the village in 1843, in the Colliery building, which later became the Chapel. Old Maps show it was a simple rectangular building aligned north-south, which - so far as it is possible to tell - survives in today's L-shaped building as part of the longer arm of the "L".

Denomination

Now or formerly New Connexion/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.

Please note the above provides a search of selected fields in the Derbyshire section of the Places of Worship Database on this site (churchdb.gukutils.org.uk) only. For other counties, or for a full search of the Database, you might like to try the site's Google Custom Search, which includes full webpage content.
