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 1959, but we understand it was closed by 2014.

I understand that Darley Abbey Methodist Church is now (2018) closed. I am assuming this occurred at the same time that they ceased to use their Church Hall in 2014. The Hall has been the meeting place by the 63rd Scouts Derby Group since 1959, and since 2014 the Group have carried out maintenance and essential repairs, and are hoping to buy the building.

There is further information about this in an article Battle is on to save one of Derby's oldest Scout groups published by Derbyshire Live on 17th November 2018.

Denomination

Now or formerly 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 Darley Abbey, and perhaps to Local History and Places of Worship as a whole.

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.
