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 by 1397, but we understand it was closed before 1539. The earliest known mention of Snitterton is in the Domesday book, when it was recorded as one of the outliers of Mestesforde (Matlock Bridge). By 1397, however it had its own Manor; and ecclesiastical records tell us Roger de Wormhill obtained a licence from the Bishop to celebrate divine service in his oratory that year. Perhaps this was the same Roger de Wormhill mentioned in Gladwyn Turbutt's A History of Derbyshire (1999), p.515, who in 1393 paid 3d. at Baslow manor court for a licence to smelt lead. The oratory is assumed to have been in the original Manor House in Snitterton, which fell into disrepair after it was replaced in 1590 by Snitterton Hall. It was surrounded by a moat, which can still be seen in outline from above, in a field to the north of the present Manor Farm. See also The Lost Manor and Chapel of Snitterton, on my other website. Denomination Now or formerly Roman Catholic. 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.
