Cemeteries We believe the Chapel 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 1845, though it is now closed, but we don't yet know when. Non-Conformist Chapels and Meeting Houses, Derbyshire (1986) describes this Chapel as dated 1845, of rendered brick and slate, and an open pediment at the front. From Google StreetView it can be seen to have a central doorway, and what may have been a date plaque set into the pediment, and sides of three bays, with rectangular windows - now boarded up. Obviously, it has now closed, and appears to be in use as storage space. The return to the Religious Census of 1851 (HO 129/414/2/7/15) for the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in Smisby is for a separate building used exclusively as a place of worship, which had seating for 80. The estimated congregation on the evening of March 30th was 50. There were no morning, or afternoon services, nor Sunday School. The return was completed by John Hague, Minister, who lived at Ashby de La Zouch, Leicestershire. Denomination Now or formerly Wesleyan 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.
