Pottery Chapel, Belper Pottery Chapel, Kilbourne (or Kilburn) Road, Belper, 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. Mentioned in Non-Conformist Chapels and Meeting Houses, Derbyshire (1986) as built 1815, and having an adjacent Sunday School, with a date plaque of 1878. As "Pottery Methodist Church", it is now a Grade I Listed Building - see the British Listed Buildings website for details, where it is recorded it was named "Pottery" following on from its predecessor of Bourne's Pottery at Denby, which formerly stood on the spot. The plaques on the accompanying photograph read: POTTERY Methodist Chapel A.D. 1816 and Foundation Stone Laid By B. SPENCER, Esqr. 1878 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.

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.
