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 after 1901, though it is now closed, but we don't yet know when.

This place of worship is first seen on Maps of 1914 labelled as "Prim. Meth Chapel". By 1960-1967 it is labelled as "Clowes Methodist Church" - named for William Clowes, the co-founder of the Primitive Methodist Movement.

Derbyshire Record Office's Non-Conformist Register Guide includes records of baptisms at the Church for the period 1956-1952.

The chapel is a small single-storey rectangular building, with the longest side facing the road, which has 3 bays, each with a pair of pointed-arched windows. In the yard in front of it (facing north) is a large tree. It is now (2013) the home of "Happyvale" - Long Eaton and District Mencap Association.

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.
