Cemeteries

We believe the Church does 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 1808, and we understand it is still open.

Friends' Meetings in Derby began in 1799 in a room hired at "The Bell", and later transferred to a large room in a former Silk Mill on Irongate, which was registered as a meeting house in 1800. The present site was acquired in 1804, and the present building, constructed to plans by John Bevan, was registered as 'lately erected' in 1810. The interior is divided into 2 rooms by a wall, which replaced original folding shutters. The entrance appears to be from St Helen's Road, with St Alkmund's Way at the rear.

Denomination

Now or formerly Quaker.

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