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 by 1950, but we understand it was closed by 1955. This Mission Church can be seen on maps of 1950, close to the south-east corner of the junction of White Lane with Charnock Hill Road. It was, presumably, a temporary mission for the growing housing development of Basegreen, prior to the building of St Peter's Church, believed to have been built by 1955. By maps of 1971, the St Mary's building, or its replacement, was occupied by a Library, next door to which was a Clinic. Both buildings have, apparently now been demolished, and replaced by the current Gleadless Library and Health Centre, and its car park. Old Maps show that the Basegreen area was anciently in the parish of Eckington, Derbyshire; but it was transferred to Yorkshire (West Riding) when it became part of the parish of Gleadless, in 1967. Since 1974, it has also been in the diocese of Sheffield. 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.

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.
