St Alkmund's Church (20thC), Derby St Alkmund's Church (20thC), 40 Kedleston Road, DE22 1GU, Derby, Derbyshire. 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 1972, and we understand it is still open. The modern St Alkmund's church is a replacement for the city centre church of St Alkmund, built in 1846, which was "a handsome and commodious edifice, with a tower and spire at the western end 207 feet in height (with) accomodation for 1,250 persons" It was demolished in 1968, to make room for the Derby City bypass, and has been replaced by the present building, but the name of the original church is retained in that portion of the bypass, as "St Alkmund's Way" near to where it stood. The plaques on the accompanying photographs read: To the Glory of God this Foundation Stone was laid by Cyril Lord Bishop of Derby on the 21 March 1970 and This church was consecrated on 18th. March 1972 by Cyril, Bishop of Derby. It replaces a former one built in 1845 which stood on a site near King St. where a Church of St Alkmund had been from the Ninth Century until 1968. Vicar. H.W.R. Bywater Churchwardens. P.D. Lucas - W.A. White Architects. Naylor, Sale & Widdows Denomination Now or formerly Church of England. 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.
