Storrs Road Methodist Church, New Brampton, Chesterfield

Storrs Road Methodist Church,
Storrs Road / Upper Moor Street, S40 3PY,
New Brampton, Chesterfield, 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 1841, and we understand it is still open.

This meeting place has had a chequered history. Full details of this are on Storrs Road Chesterfield Community Gateway website. There has been a Methodist or Wesleyan Church on the site since the early 19th Century. The first chapel was a corrugated metal building (a 'tin tabernacle'), opened in 1841. It was however closed for a while, but reopened later in the century by Thomas IRVING, a local agricultural merchant, who gave the building to a group of Bible Christians, but it was once again closed "due, it is said, to the influence of false teaching".
It reopened in 1892, when it was taken over by a group from the Old Hall Road Wesleyan Methodist Church; however the present building dates from 19th July 1899, when its foundation stone was laid, to open on 21st February in the following year.
The community building which is attached dates from 1971, opening on 24 March 1973, originally in cooperation with the Local Authority and other local organisations, but after a 28-year lease expired (2001), it reverted to Storrs Road Methodist Church.
The above information was compiled in 2010.

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.

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 New Brampton, Chesterfield, and perhaps to Local History and Places of Worship as a whole.

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. For other counties, or for a full search of the Database, you might like to try the site's Google Custom Search, which includes full webpage content.
