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 before 1881, but we understand it was closed after 1938.

This Free United Methodist Chapel is first seen on Old Maps of 1881, and in more detail in 1900. It was rectangular, aligned north/south. The "plan" is shown as 'E' shaped, with the short arms of the 'E' facing Cromford Road, and the entrance to the building was approached by a central pathway.

Its last appearance on Old Maps is in 1938. By 1962 it appears to have been demolished, and a building similar in outline to the present (2013) "Mr. Tyre Ltd" outlet occupying the site.

At the time of Kelly's Directory of 1932, Langley Mill had 3 Methodist Chapels, Primitive Methodist, United Methodist, and Wesleyan - only the Primitive Methodist building has survived to the present day, and it is now (2013) in commercial use.

Denomination

Now or formerly Free/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.
