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 1851, but we understand it was closed before 1922.

A return to the Religious Census of 1851 (HO 129/446/1/9/11) indicates Wesleyan Methodists were meeting in "Weston Under Wood" by 1851. This was a room in another building, used exclusively as a place of worship, but with (apparently) no seating, and there were no figures given for attendance, nor for when it had opened. The return was completed by George Draycott, "Leader and Steward", who gave his address as "Ivy House, Weston Under Wood, Derbyshire".

The Chapel is marked on OS Maps of 1900, but by 1922, it is marked as "Parish Room", and in the present day, it has been demolished, and new housing occupying the site.

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.
