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 before 1877, but we understand it was closed by 2009.

The location of a Mission Room, which was later dedicated as St Luke's, can be seen for the first time on Old Maps of 1898 - a "Tin Tabernacle", by appearance. It is on the north side of junction of West Street with Dronfield Road and Chesterfield Road, and in 1962-1967 is labelled as "St Luke's Mission Church (C of E).

The building closed for worship when its congregation joined that of Eckington Methodist Church in a Local Ecumenical Partnership, to be known as "Eckington Methodist Church with St Luke's Church". This was evidently prior to a Google StreetView drive-past of June 2009, which indicated secular ownership, with a badge on the front reminiscent of that of St John's Ambulance.

It is still in existence as of a more recent drive-past (2014), but there is no badge visible, so its present use is unknown.

Denomination

Now or formerly Church of England.

If more than one congregation has worshipped here, or its congregation has united with others, in most cases this will record its original dedication.
