Default Image We do not have a Photograph at present. Image by courtesy of openclipart.org Samudra Buddhist Centre, Buxton Samudra Buddhist Centre, High Street, Buxton, Derbyshire. Cemeteries We believe the Church does 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 1997, and we understand it is still open. The Samudra Buddhist Centre website tells us it was founded in 1997 by the Ven. Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. It is situated next to (south of) Goddard's Music Shop, on the south-east junction of the High Street with Ash Road. Interestingly, when I first "visited" via Google StreetView in 2010, the premises advertised themselves as "Solomon's Bistro", but a drive-past of the following year showed the same property was the "Samudra Buddhist Centre". For the avoidance of doubt, there is a photograph on Steve Bulman's Churches of Britain and Ireland, Buxton website (under Derbyshire => Buxton), advertising its presence with a poster in the window. Denomination Now or formerly Buddhist. 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.
