We have 1 Image Above Photograph(s) Copyright of Janet Kirk Baptist Chapel, Wirksworth Baptist Chapel, 52 North End, Wirksworth, Derbyshire. Cemeteries This Chapel had 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 1816, though it is now closed, but we don't yet know when. The date of founding in 1816 is suggested by Wirksworth Baptist Church's entry in Derbyshire Record Office's Non-Conformist Register Guide, though the address it gives is that of the present Baptist Chapel, in Coldwell Street. However that building was not erected until in 1885 so could not have been the original meeting place for Wirksworth's Baptist congregation. According to their account, the register of births was begun in 1824, but retrospective entries were included, and it covers a period 1802-1837. A register of marriages 1900-1946 is also available. There is also a note of the small cemetery attached to the Chapel, in North End. Note: the Chapel was also associated with a Baptist Meeting at Shottle, as the DRO's list records "Shottle and Wirksworth Baptist Church" births 1824-1837 (presumably the same register as above) as a separate entry. There may be more information available by by selecting one or more of the accompanying images on the right. Denomination Now or formerly Baptist. 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.
