Ebenezer Gospel Hall (Demolished),
Stanley Street,
Killamarsh, Derbyshire.

Cemeteries

We believe the Church 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 by 1956, but we understand it was closed by 2014.

The Gospel Halls UK and Republic of Ireland website for England lists Killamarsh's Ebenezer Hall as being in Bridge Street, though that may be a referral to the "Old" Ebenezer Chapel, formerly on the east side of Bridge Street, but now demolished, described elsewhere in this database.
Places recorded by the Registrar General under the provisions of the Places of Worship Registration Act 1855 (2010) also list "The Old Ebenezer Gospel Hall" in Bridge Street, with a congregation of Assemblies of God; whereas their "new" Ebenezer Gospel Hall is registered with an address "off" Bridge Street, and with a congregation of Brethren.
I believe the latter entry refers to a building first shown on Maps of 1956, labelled as "Ebenezer Gospel Hall", which may well have been approached from Bridge Street originally, but today is reached from Stanley Street.
The following notice in The London Gazette of 27th January 1956 (p.588) recorded its registration for marriages:
A Building certified for worship named EBENEZER GOSPEL HALL, off Bridge Street, Killamarsh, in the registration district of Chesterfield in the county of Derby, was on 23rd January, 1956, registered for solemnising marriages therein pursuant to section 41 of the Marriage Act, 1949. Dated 25th January 1956.
Whilst obviously the building was extant when our photograph was taken (April 2010), it appears from a Google Satellite view of (December) 2014 that it has now been demolished.
The Gazette has been searched after this date, but no notice of closure has been found.

Denomination

Now or formerly Brethren.

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

Resources

I have found many websites of use whilst compiling the information for this database. Here are some which deserve mention as being of special interest for Killamarsh, and perhaps to Local History and Places of Worship as a whole.

A website providing a country-wide list of locations of Gospel Halls UK and Republic of Ireland (null) (verified 2018-10-27)
Places recorded by the Registrar General under the provisions of the Places of Worship Registration Act 1855 (2010) is available as a "Freedom of Information" document on the website What Do They Know. (verified 2018-10-14)
Notices of Civil Registration of Places of Worship for marriages are published in the London edition of The Gazette. Hint: search for registrations from 1998 by choosing 'Church' notices, and the option 'Registration for solemnising marriage'. (verified 2018-12-11)

The above links were selected and reviewed at the time I prepared the information, but please be aware their content may vary, or disappear entirely. These factors are outside my control.

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.
