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 2010, though it is now closed, but we don't yet know when.

It is difficult to know whether Kingdom Hall in Mosborough is still active or not. It is listed in Places recorded by the Registrar General under the provisions of the Places of Worship Registration Act 1855 (2010) with an address of the Old Miners Welfare Building on Station Road. Old Maps suggest that the present (2016) Miners Welfare venue is the third such building on the site. The first, shown on Maps of 1956, is a long narrow building, set well back from the road. By Maps of 1964-1968, this had become a Youth Club, and a larger building had been built nearer the road. The present building is even larger, and stands further to the east.

A comparison of the site of the second building on Old Maps with the present day suggests it is still in existence, but as it now (2016) appears to be occupied by a branch of Ladbroke's Betting Shops, it seems unlikely it is still also a "Kingdom Hall".

Denomination

Now or formerly Jehovah's Witness.

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