We have 3 Images Above Photograph(s) Copyright of Andrew McCann/Alf Beard/Pete Howard St Hugh's Church, Foolow St Hugh's Church, The Green, Foolow, 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 1888, and we understand it is still open. Kelly's Directory of 1932 describes Foolow as an ancient village and township, 2 miles west from Eyam, chiefly inhabited by farmers. St Hugh's was said to be "a small mission church, built in 1889". An account of St Hugh's Mission Church - Foolow elsewhere explains that the main body of the building was originally a smithy. This was purchased from Mr Bagshawe of Sheffield, and the trustees of his late brother, for a price such that the total cost of purchase and any necessary alterations was not expected to exceed £150. This may have been a reference to Benjamin Bagshawe of Sheffield, the son and one of the next of kin of Benjamin Bagshawe of Foolow, who died 15th April 1879, whose Will was proved on 10th November 1800. His personal estate was said to be under £1,500. The foundation stone of the Church was laid on August 15th 1888, and the opening took place on December 17th of that year. The Chancel was added the following year, and opened on Dec 17th 1889, and the porch at a later (unknown) date.

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.
