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 1935, and we understand it is still open.

Its plaque reads:

To the Glory of God
This Stone was unveiled
by
PHILIP ROBINSON
of Chesterfield
May 18th
1935

Denomination

Now or formerly Congregational.

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