Mount Tabor Chapel, Crich

Mount Tabor Chapel,
Bowns Hill,
Crich, Derbyshire.

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 in 1864, but we understand it was closed after 1995.

This is a substantial, and impressive, split-level building built to the east side of a steeply climbing road north of the Market Place, with 2-bay lancets facing the road, and 3-bay lancet windows to its sides, the main entrance being on the upper level.
According to the account ofNonconformist Chapels in Crich on Crich Parish website, the chapel is known locally as Mount Tabor, and it was "built by local quarrymen who gave their spare time to its building. Before and after their day's work in one of the quarries in the district they spent some time working on the construction of the chapel". Prior to the opening of the National School, the lower area of the chapel was used as a school room.
Today (2010), the Chapel is known as "Mount Tabor House" and provides bed and breakfast accomodation. It is not known when it was closed as a chapel, though it must have been some time after 1995, as it is still marked with a cross on my OS Street Atlas of Derbyshire dated that year.

Denomination

Now or formerly United Methodist.

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.

Please note the above provides a search of selected fields in the Derbyshire section of the Places of Worship Database on this site (churchdb.gukutils.org.uk) only. For other counties, or for a full search of the Database, you might like to try the site's Google Custom Search, which includes full webpage content.
