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 1880, though it is now closed, but we don't yet know when. This is, or was, quite a plain chapel, with a three bay front, and two tall round-arched windows on either side of a central round-arched doorway, surrounded by a projecting panel, too narrow to be called a porch. The sides, so far as it is possible to tell, are of 3 bays, but with apparently some alteration, possibly taking place after it was sold and converted into a private residence. It looks like there was a plaque in the gable before conversion, but this had been plastered over. However the masonry forming the arches above the front windows is inscribed (on the left) with "Restored & Enlarged 1880", and on the right "Sunday School Centenary 1980". I do not know why it was called a "Refuge Chapel". Waingroves was, at the time of Kelly's Directory of 1932, in the Codnor postal delivery area, but "for all civil purposes was annexed to Ripley under the Divided Parishes Act, in 1888". 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.

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.
