Greenhill (Central) Methodist ('Marrowbones Chapel'), Derby Greenhill (Central) Methodist ('Marrowbones Chapel'), Green Hill (St Peter's Churchyard), Derby, 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 1821, but we understand it was closed in 1989. Listed in Derby City Council's Traffic Street / Siddalls Road, Derby Archaeological Assessment, where it is described as: "Marrowbones Chapel, St Peter's Churchyard. Built in 1816 for the Independents, but sold to the Wesleyan Methodists in 1821. Rebuilt in 1868-71 by Giles and Brookhouse, and again in 1893 by John Willis. Closed in 1989". NGR: SK 35233 35989. It was nicknamed 'Marrowbones', according to Non-Conformist Chapels and Meeting Houses, Derbyshire (1986), after three butchers who were principally concerned with its erection, apparently as a speculative venture. It was sold to the Wesleyans after a failure of the original congregation. Walls are of brick, "with late 19th-century rendered and pedimented front and round-arched windows above an altered porch". It appears now (2010) to be commercial premises. Denomination Now or formerly Wesleyan 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.
