Cemeteries

We believe the Chapel 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 1831, and we understand it is still open.

The former Derby Church Net website grouped this chapel with Hulland Ward. Kelly's Directory of 1932 agrees, listing Cross o'th'Hands, Shuckton Manor and Wardgate as places within the Hulland Ward township, to which in 1886 part of Mugginton parish and a detached part of Turnditch were transferred in 1886. Hulland itself became an ecclesiastical parish in 1853, comprising townships of Hulland and Hulland Ward, in Ashbourne parish, and Biggin in Wirksworth parish.

It was entered as "Cross of Hands" in the Religious Census of 1851, and said to have been built in 1831. Its minister at that time was James Bottomly, and it had 100 free sittings, none paid for, and no free space or standing room.

Denomination

Now or formerly Primitive 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.
