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 1915, and we understand it is still open.

Kelly's Directory of 1932 records Unstone under the heading of Dronfield. It provides the information that St Mary's Church was consecrated in 1920, and "consists of chancel and nave"; and that Unstone was formed into a conventional district in 1925.

The Church congregation is now a Local Ecumenical Partnership, offering a "happy blend of Anglican and Methodist services". This was probably following the closure of Unstone Methodist Church (formerly Wesleyan Methodist), a short distance away - for which see elsewhere in this database.

Denomination

Now or formerly Anglican/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.
