Chapel at the junction of School Lane and an access
Road, at SK 2548 7248. No available later maps label it any more helpfully. The

Church Gresley, St. George and St. Mary
on Church Street. It was originally an Augustinian Priory (Wikipedia
entry) founded in 1135. The church
website advises (in 2024) that the church is closed (but doesn't say why),
and that services are being held at
Gresley Church Community Centre nearby (2023

Mission Room on Queen
Street. Although founded before 1901, the present building is obviously of a
later date. SK 2941 1832. © Richard Roberts (2014). The building had a radical
overhaul between 2015 and 2022 (2022
Streetview), apparently closed and converted to residential use. The
Methodist Church (2022
Streetview) is on York Road. The
church website
dates it to 1971. It stands on the site of a Wesleyan Chapel (photo
here), built by 1901. SK 2964 1874. Older O.S. maps show a
Methodist Chapel (Free United) on Chapel Street. SK
2931 1820. Pre-dating a map of 1884, it seems to have gone out of use in the
mid-20th century. The housing built on its site was seen by
Streetview in 2009. The
earliest (1884) available O.S. map of the village shows a
Primitive Methodist Chapel on Market Street and at
SK 2984 1859. It's no longer marked on the next map of 1901. Its
site was seen by
Streetview in 2019. An otherwise unidentified Chapel
is shown on a map of 1902 on Highfield Street. SK 3000 1916. It's given here as
Primitive Methodist, built before 1901, closed 1955. Demolished, it's site is
now occupied by housing, seen by

as a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on a map of 1916.

The Primitive Methodists also had a chapel, on
Wright Street, at SK 4175 4954. It's dated
here to 1880 to circa 1970. It
was a building site in 2018
when the Streetview van went past. The website also mentions its predecessor on
Needham Street, of 1857. When the Wright Street Chapel was opened, the old
Needham Street building was used as a Sunday School, and is so marked on old
maps, at SK 4166 4947. It was demolished in the 1960's after being in secular
use for many years. I think it stood roughly where the brick building is seen,

location). The story of Eyam and the plague is of course well known - the
Wikipedia entry referred to earlier covers it if you are unfamiliar with it. A

plagues victims. Two other windows - 1,

Grade II* listed. Other related listings
can be found
here. A Primitive Methodist Chapel once
stood on the east side of Green Lane. It preceded a map of 1900, and was
still active as Ockbrook Methodist Church into the 1970's at least. SK
4229 3634. Its site can be seen in a
Streetview from
2019. An earlier P.M. chapel is shown on a map of 1881, but it's not
clear to which building the label should be applied. It stood at the
northern end of Wesley Lane at circa SK 422 362. I've not been able to
establish whether it survives, or find a photo, and the Streetview
camera hasn't visited. Given the street name, it's at least possible
that this was originally the Wesleyan Chapel
mentioned
on Genuki as having been built in 1808. David Regan has advised of this
website that shows that my assumption was correct - this was
originally a Wesleyan Chapel, and the reasons for their having to give
it up can be read under the heading "Ockbrook 1871".

It's presumably this chapel of which there is an interior photo from

also lists a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, of 1860 re-built 1895, but I

changed hands at some point?

Primrose Hill, the site of the demolished Blackwell Methodist
Chapel (previously Wesleyan), as seen by Streetview in 2022. It's dated

replacement chapel was built
"on land adjacent to the earlier chapel". A
2009 Streetview shows
that access to the later chapel was from Whites Lane, off Primrose Hill.

According to this source
the cemetery dates from 1884; whether the chapels date from the same time is so
far not clear. SK 3813 6138. All

There was at one time St. James Mission Church in
the village, at SK 3917 6123. First marked on a map of 1917-18, it appears to
have still been active as late as 1978. This
source
says it was closed "about 1875" and later demolished. I've been unable to find a
photo. Its site lies somewhere within the woodland on the left of a
Streetview of 2019.

the two stands the chancel arch,
with rood loft above (circa 1500, and the only one to survive in the county),
and squint to the left. The ringing room has a
plaque recording a bell-ringing
feat. The East window; an unusual
survival in the wooden beam over it is a

C14 glass survives in other

wall painting. A carved stone

1200. The organ and
